Bio
Bridget Peragine
I had the opportunity to work very closely with Lindsay for over 4 years at Advisen. She came into Advisen as a Media Project Manager overseeing all production of content on Advisen’s Editorial team and she quickly grew her role to oversee projects within the Advisen Events team as well. Overseeing multiple projects and events at once, Lindsay has always managed to stay well organized and stick to all project deadlines. Her communication and ability to build customer relationships makes her a key asset to any team. It has been a privilege working with Lindsay and I know she will succeed at anything to sets her mind to.
Chad Hemenway
During my time as manager of Lindsay at Advisen, she was my right hand. I leaned on her a lot, and she always came through with positivity and efficiency. Her position as project manager was a new one, but Lindsay made it her own and shaped it to truly help our organization produce more effectively for clients. Lindsay's communication with clients was always kind, clear, direct and professional. And her collegial presence in the office benefitted the entire company.
