Lindsey achieved her Level One Anthropometrist certification through ISAK (International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry) in 2021. This valuable skillset has assisted both the athlete and Lindsey to design an individualized nutrition program to help the athlete achieve a specific body composition to reach performance goals. She provides a holistic approach that values student athlete well-being.
