Lindsey combines her lived experience with professional expertise in human trafficking advocacy, mental health support, and emergency services.<\/span><\/p>\n

With over a decade of multidisciplinary experience, Lindsey currently serves as Regional Operations Coordinator for Safe House Project, leading anti-trafficking efforts while building partnerships between law enforcement, healthcare providers, community organizations, and survivors.
