Lindsey holds a Master of Arts in Dance Teaching Artistry from Wayne State University (2025) and a BS in Sport & Movement Science (Dance) from Salem State University (2015). Her graduate research focused on the harmful effects of traditional dance teaching methods on students' body image perception, and how the use of critical feminist dance pedagogy confronts female dance body ideals.

She has taken part in workshops and residencies from companies/programs such as Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, American College Dance Association, Dance Teachers’ Club of Boston, Jen Pollins, Peter Dimuro, and Mariah Maloney. Her formal dance training and education is in ballet, tap, jazz, pointe, musical theatre, lyrical, modern, contemporary, hip hop, composition, improvisation, pedagogy, dance production, dance theory/style, anatomy, and dance history.

Lindsey choreographs and performs modern dance both independently and with Vitality Dance Project. Recent performance credits include: Salem Arts Festival, Salem State University Faculty & Guest Artist Concert, Mass Poetry Festival, NACHMO Boston, Vitality Dance Project's Emergence, Across The Ages Dance Project: Lineage , Beverly Arts Festival, Anthony Williams’ Urban Nutcracker (2012).
