I was born and raised here in Knoxville and graduated from Bearden High School. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from The University of Tennessee Chattanooga. I have over 20 year’s experience in management and working with children. I am married and have a son who will graduate from West High School in May.

Ms. Lindsey has been with Primrose for over three years now.  She was a lead infant teacher before she started in Leadership. Lindsey has a CDA certificate for early education.  What Lindsey likes the best about working with children is being a consistent figure in the children’s lives that their parents can count on. Lindsey’s favorite children’s book is Winnie the pooh.  In Lindsey’s personal time she enjoys laying in the sun & relaxing with her fur babies.

She cannot wait to continue growing with the Primrose family!
