About Me
My name is Lindsay Saunders. I am from the Outer Banks, but have been living in Raleigh since 2008. I love the area and am proud to call the triangle home, unless another next big adventure takes me to a larger city or another magical coastal area.
I initially entered this program because I was thinking I wanted to work in a media agency, publication, or PR and one day maybe even do global nonprofit work. I still feel the same way, but feel more empowered to work in media before maybe one day contributing my skills to a global nonprofit or government agency than I did prior to graduate school. Currently, I am a Communications Consultant with big dreams to change business and the world for the better.
