My Journey:

Lindsay earned her baccalaureate degree from the University at Buffalo, where she double-majored in Psychology and Communications. Her passion for education led her to pursue a master’s degree in Higher Education Administration at New York University (NYU).

After graduating from NYU, Lindsay embarked on a rewarding career in admissions, recruitment and student affairs. As Scholarship and Recruitment Officer at NYU College of Nursing, she managed the College’s scholarship programs, from marketing through scholar selection and program implementation. Her dedication and expertise led to her promotion to Assistant Director for Admissions and Student Affairs. In this capacity, Lindsay not only guided applicants but also predicted enrollment trends, hosted information sessions, and orchestrated New Student Orientation.

In 2012, Lindsay joined the University at Buffalo School of Law as Associate Director of Admissions. Her impact was undeniable, and in January 2017, she was appointed Vice Dean for Admissions—a position she continues to hold today. As Vice Dean, Lindsay oversees the Office of Admissions, managing programs, staff, and ensuring a seamless experience for prospective and admitted students.

Fun fact:  Lindsay performed for the New York Liberty (WNBA) as a member of the Liberty Torch Patrol for five seasons.

Advice and Tips for Prospective Students:

Don’t rush through the application process! While there is no objective “best” time to submit your application, applying as early as possible is generally good advice. But, by no means should you jeopardize or rush through any application component to submit your application early. Attention to detail and thoughtful preparation can significantly impact your chances of acceptance.
