My name is Lindsey Colby. I am a senior English major at UMass Amherst, intending to graduate in 2025. Having worked as a hairstylist since 2015, I began working towards a career change in 2020, when I enrolled at Holyoke Community College. I graduated from HCC with an associate’s degree in Liberal Arts, then transferred to UMass with the goal of continuing on to receive a master’s degree in Library and Information Sciences. Featured on this site are personal and research essays from various courses I have taken while at UMass. Outside of school, I love cats, crocheting, and baking!
