Originally from Irvington, NY, Lindsey Smith was the chapter president of the Irvington High School GlamourGals Chapter. Lindsey met Rachel Doyle over eight years ago at the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership Conference at the end of her sophomore year of high school. Wanting to be a part of a community service project that she could have ownership of, Lindsey was thrilled to hear about GG. When she met Rachel Doyle, she knew right away that GlamourGals was the organization for her. Rachel's confidence, passion, dedication and leadership were inspiring and she needed to be a part of the organization.

"GlamourGals is important to me because it has helped me transform into the person I am today. I have gained leadership skills, confidence, and have seen how passion and motivation are the key drivers to being successful. GlamourGals has provided me with incredible experiences that have opened doors for me both academically and professionally. I am inspired to support GlamourGals because I want other young girls to have the same amazing experiences that I have had because of my involvement in GlamourGals," says Lindsey.

After high school, Lindsey wasn't done with her GG involvement and started the Vanderbilt University chapter in Tennessee. In 2010, Lindsey graduated with a degree in Human and Organizational Development with a minor in Corporate Strategies. She currently serves on the GlamourGals advisory board. Lindsey is currently living in New York City and is in her second year of Teach for America. She is teaching 3rd grade at Success Academy Harlem 1, while completing her masters in General Childhood Education (K-6).

Lindsey is excited to attend Illuminate for the first time. "I look forward to meeting other successful New Yorkers that are passionate about serving their communities, whether it is through volunteering or supporting a non-profit financially. I can't wait to mingle with other like-minded New York adults that are leaders in their own industry," she says.
