About Lindsey

Executive Director | Nonprofit Leader | Advocate

Lindsey is a seasoned nonprofit leader, strategist, and advocate dedicated to transforming systems and lives in marginalized communities. With almost fifteen years of nonprofit experience, she has built survivor-centered programs, influenced policy, and led teams with vision and impact.

Her passion for justice stems from personal experience, driving her to join Traffick911’s grassroots movement in 2010 and leave a corporate career in 2012 to serve full-time. Since then, she has scaled the organization’s influence, established strong partnerships, and developed innovative responses to trafficking victims. In 2017, she authored and implemented Traffick911’s Voice & Choice Survivor Empowerment Program, which has since become a model for holistic, trauma-informed care. Under her leadership, Traffick911 tripled in size and impact, expanded its services, strengthened collaborative efforts with government agencies, won national awards, and played a key role in elevating survivor advocacy across the nation.

She actively contributes to statewide anti-trafficking strategy as a member of the Texas Governor’s CSEY Care Coordination State Partner Advisory Council (CCSPAC) and serves on local multidisciplinary teams, shaping individual community response protocols to trafficking and services for survivors.

Recognized for her strategic leadership and field expertise, Lindsey was named 2019 Advocate of the Year by Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center and honored as Outstanding Child Advocate for North Texas at the 2024 Texas Academy Awards of Child Advocacy by Children At Risk. Her influence extends beyond direct services—she is a trusted voice in nonprofit leadership, sought after for advisory services, leadership development, and strategic planning, and organizational growth.

A thought leader in her field, Lindsey loves to speak on topics such as "free people free people," exploring how self-awareness, shared humanity, and personal healing are integral to the fight for freedom.

Lindsey holds a bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University, is TBRI-trained, certified in victim assistance through the Texas Victim Assistance Training Academy, and is a Certified Praesidium Guardian.

When she’s not leading change, she enjoys perfecting the art of pour over coffee, kayaking, golfing, hosting Shabbat dinners and making challah bread, serving at her church, and tending to her urban jungle.
