From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

“Lindsay has been a driving force in building Golden Hippo’s internship and early talent recruitment programs from the ground up. Her contributions go far beyond just hiring interns—she has redefined what early career recruitment looks like by creating a meaningful, impactful experience that bridges the gap between education and the professional world.

Lindsay is deeply committed to the growth and success of our interns. She developed a thoughtful onboarding process that assigns interns real, skill-based projects rather than routine or menial tasks. She understands that Gen Z talent wants purpose and connection, so she designs experiences—like team-building escape rooms and cross-functional coffee chats—to help interns build relationships and feel like a true part of the Golden Hippo team.

One of Lindsay’s standout initiatives is a resume-building workshop she leads each cohort, bringing in senior leadership and TA partners to offer personalized advice on resumes and LinkedIn presence. She invests in every intern’s future—whether they join us full time or move on to other opportunities—ensuring they leave their internship with confidence, clarity, and practical career tools.

Beyond our walls, Lindsay has built strong partnerships with colleges and universities, regularly hosting on-campus sessions where she not only introduces students to Golden Hippo but also shares tips on building strong resumes and professional profiles.

Thanks to Lindsay’s leadership, we’re celebrating our largest and most successful internship cohort yet, with many interns converting into full-time employees. And it’s worth noting—Lindsay began her own journey as our very first TA intern. Her growth and impact have come full circle, and there's no better example of a Rising Star than her.”
