Lindsay has worked in several countries since obtaining her undergraduate in animal behaviour and welfare and PhD in primate welfare nearly 20 years ago. Her longest employment was as an academic staff member running an animal management programme for 12 years but a year ago, she changed roles to take on the challenging task of being an Animal Welfare Officer at Charles Sturt University in NSW Australia. She is an ex-horse rider who after not owning a horse for about 7 years, has found them to sneak back into her life as she is now involved in maintaining the welfare of the horses at the university. It was fitting that she presented in the CANZ sponsored session as she worked for CANZ back in 2019 developing their accreditation for people working in the field of animal behaviour and training.
