Prior to joining SVP, Lynn provided capacity building support to a network of local youth development and education organizations; managed a local race relations initiative; and researched and wrote policy papers for environmental organizations.  She is a graduate of the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Affairs where she received a Master in Public Administration.  She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations from Syracuse University.

In her spare time Lynn enjoys photography, mid-century modern design, movies, and travel.  Her volunteer work tends to be for local organizations that focus on youth, social justice or the arts.
