Lindsay Dahlin

Dynamic and innovative educator with a strong background in design thinking, early childhood education, and creative problem-solving. Leveraging over 7 years of experience in developing and delivering STEAM-based curriculum, I integrate science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics into hands-on learning experiences that foster creativity and critical thinking. My expertise spans from managing classrooms and tailoring lessons to individual learning needs, to designing interactive, empathy-driven learning environments. With a passion for human-centered design, I also bring valuable experience in visual merchandising and project management, which enhances my ability to create engaging and functional learning experiences. As a skilled household manager, I excel in multitasking, organization, and leadership, applying problem-solving strategies to manage complex tasks and foster effective operations. I am committed to shaping innovative educational experiences that empower learners to explore, iterate, and succeed.
