Lindy is a freelance documentary and street photographer. She graduated with a degree in Biology from The University of Arizona in 2000, but not before catching the travel bug while spending a year on exchange at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. After taking her first black and white classes, for one of which she documented Harley-Davidson Riders in Tucson, she started to pursue photography.

In 2003, she enrolled in the Full Time General Studies program at the International Center of Photography in New York City. She photographed theatrical portraits of performers as well as landscapes typical of America like diners and motels. Anxious and eager to see more of the world, she took off on a personal journey to travel throughout South and Central America, winding up Latin America's backbone to explore other cultures while sharing peoples stories in the spirit of documentary photography.

One opportunity lead to another starting with the multimedia project Unsettled Dust to bring awareness to the femicide issue in Juarez and Chihuahua City, Mexico. She then volunteered in Chile at an orphanage for girls through the non-profit organization VE-Global. Thanks to a generous donation from PENTAX and takegreatpictures.com, Lindy co-founded OJOS nuevos, a digital photography workshop for at-risk youth that let kids play as photographers to explore their world through their eyes. Lindy went on to Bolivia to photograph an annual proceeds calendar for the wild animal refuge Inti Wara Yassi. Later she worked in Costa Rica as a Staff Photographer for The Tico Times, Central America's leading English newspaper. After 3 years of voluntouring, Lindy returned to the U.S. and has been shooting portrait, product, and event photography since.

Her work has been exhibited at the Tucson Museum of Art, the New York Childrens Museum of Art, Cafe Literario, HOLGAS Gallery, and ICP. She has been published in The Village Voice, Transitions Abroad Magazine, TakeGreatPictures.com, Travel Photographers Network, IGUANA Magazine, and Fodor's 2010 Costa Rica and Arizona Travel Guides.
