I'm a Dallas, TX-native who moved here just in time to watch the Cardinals beat the Rangers for their 11th World Series win. I studied journalism and sociology at the University of Missouri. Before St. Louis Patch, I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Moldova, a tiny country tucked between Romania and the Ukraine. You can check out my stories and videos from Moldova at PeaceCorpsLindsay.com.
