Hospitality, and more specifically, the food and beverage industry, has been Lindsay's passion for years. There's nothing she loves more than the buzz of a restaurant during a busy Sunday brunch, the first bite you take of a new dish you created, and the memories you create going for ice cream with friends in the summer. Her goal in writing for this magazine is to bring these things to life and share her experiences with you.

Writing about community, culture, and the human heart, he creates bridges across continents, reminding us that every story, no matter its origin, is part of something universal.
