Meet Lindsey, DUG’s Development Manager.
Lindsey came to Denver Urban Gardens by way of the bicycle as a tool for equitable social change and collective and individual wellness. She loves riding her bike through the city, making new friends while enjoying our green urban spaces and exploring Denver’s neighborhoods and historic districts. Trained as a bike mechanic and educator, Lindsey has worked and volunteered in nonprofit community bike shops diverting used bikes and components from the landfill and creating community through education programs that support people in their agency over their transportation. She loves repairing things and making them new again while building excitement in others to learn how to keep their own two (or three!) wheels rolling. Her commitment to sustainability, waste diversion, and cultivating joy in connecting with the earth is at the center of her work.
Lindsey earned a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and Sociology from the University of Washington. She brings 5+ years of experience in nonprofit development and has so much gratitude for donors and community members who nurture and build our capacity to move forward our mission together. She leads with curiosity and is always excited to build new relationships that benefit everyone.
Outside of work, Lindsey loves reading, exploring Colorado’s mountains with her husband and dog, and supporting women’s sports. She sourced her first seeds from DUG when she started her own backyard garden and now feels invincible when she can harvest veggies before the squirrels get to them.
