Lindsey returned home to Tennessee in 2006 following her graduation from Rhema Bible Training College. Born and bred in a family of entrepreneurs, she began pursuing an array of opportunities that satisfied her entrepreneurial and adventurous spirit. She studied business and technology and found her niche in the creative side with web design, web development, graphic design, video editing, and other creative skills.

Combining her love for creative media and passion for spreading the Gospel, she joined the staff at Impact Church in a hybrid role in 2012. As Office Administrator/Creative Media Team Lead, she was able to further develop her creative skill set.

Early in 2016, she stepped away from her administrative role allowing her to direct more focus to her own freelance business, Raine Digital Designs and Marketing. She remains at the helm of the creative media team at Impact and enjoys helping other creatives discover how they can use their gifts and passions for ministry. She has discovered that spreading the good news of Jesus through media outlets is the primary reason for her existence.

Lindsey loves drinking exceptionally strong coffee, taking road trips, exploring new and beautiful places with good company, and driving fast cars. Her ideal fun day combines all of the above, likely with windows down and the music loud.
