ABOUT ME
My name is Lindsay and I am currently in my first semester of graduate school for Lifespan & Digital Communication here at Old Dominion University. I received my bachelor's in English and Communications in the spring of 2023 here at ODU.
Currently I am a Graduate Assistant for the ePortfolio Studio in the Perry Library. Additionally, I am the Graduate Assistant for Communication and Marketing at the Virginia Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation Center. If you’re interested in learning more about my work, click on the VMASC Projects or the LinkedIn icon!
I enjoy working with others, as well as continuously learning and exploring new opportunities. An important take away from me is that I try my hardest to succeed and encourage my peers through mentoring with direction, tips, and examples on how to create a custom-to-you ePortfolio that does not only serve as a repository but an extension of creativity.
