Lindsey started training at age 34 and immediately fell in love with jiu jitsu as a sport and for self-defense. She paved the way at her school as the only competitive adult female and the first female to earn her purple belt. In 2021, she launched a women’s only self-defense program known as Mean Girl Jiu Jitsu, which encouraged ladies to cast aside all stereotypes and risk of being labelled in order to protect their own safety and well-being. In 2022, Lindsey added Krav Maga and MMA training to her schedule and became a certified instructor with Warrior Forged Project, along with still training and competing in BJJ. Jiu jitsu has helped Lindsey to acknowledge her worth and become more resilient in all aspects of her life. She believes that every woman would benefit from training and truly treasures the jiu jitsu community!

Off the mats, Lindsey loves spending time with her husband and two daughters. She graduated with a BS in Biochemistry and Cellular/Molecular Biology, Masters in Business Administration, and works full time in regulatory affairs for medical devices. She has completed marathons, triathlons, and loves functional fitness training (especially with her family). She also loves hiking, writing, family board/video game nights, and trying any new experience or food!
