Graduated from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina with a degree in elementary education, but her passion for the community--students, parents, teachers, and community members-- led her to pursue her masters degree and Ed.D. (Educational Doctorate) in school leadership. She spent 18 years as a school administrator and most enjoyed time she spent with families and children who found themselves frustrated in school without appropriate communication skills to express that frustration. Seeing students’ joy in finding academic success led her back to the classroom!
Lindi has been a teacher, assistant principal, principal, and is also certified to teach preschool special education and gifted and talented. She currently teaches reading in a public school and has seen first-hand how improving reading skills positively impacts math. Knowing and understanding “math vocabulary” helps students increase their problem solving skills, explain their thinking, and ultimately apply their mathematical thinking outside of the classroom. Math is all around us! When students work 1-on-1 with a math specialist at Made for Math, they have more frequent opportunities for discussion, communication, and skills practice.
Lindi is married with 3 children! Her favorite hobbies include reading, painting, and anything outdoors. She LOVES biking, hiking, walking, camping, and kayaking! She enjoys reading childrens’ books and connecting to students through stories and art. She is passionate about learning, and her best teachers have always been the students she teaches!
