 Mrs. Lindsey is excited to be the new Library Assistant at Heritage High School. She studied Photography and Anthropology in college and has always loved libraries, learning something new, and getting lost in a good book.  Prior to this position, she worked part-time as a substitute at both Heritage and Harper Park Middle School for 3 years. She mostly worked as a Special Ed assistant but also enjoyed subbing in their respective libraries. 

Mrs. Lindsey has lived in Leesburg for 18 years with her husband and 2 kids--one of which graduated from Heritage in 2019 and the other who currently attends as a Junior. 

In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, kayaking, traveling, crafting, baking, watching movies, and, of course, reading.  She loves to visit new locals and experience their architecture, culture and food. 

She looks forward to a great year with the students and staff of Heritage High
