Lyndsey Quinlan is the Director of Communications at the Cardinal Institute for West Virginia Policy, where she oversees the organization’s external communications, media relations, and digital marketing strategies to advance its mission and reach a broader audience.

Bringing over four years of experience to the Cardinal Institute, Lyndsey joined the Cardinal team as the Digital Marketing Associate in August 2024. She grew up in Grafton, WV, and was raised as a dedicated, enthusiastic Mountaineer fan. In 2015, she moved to Morgantown to attend West Virginia University, where she studied Public Relations and began her career in marketing and communications.

Lyndsey has worked at several West Virginia-based businesses, including The Thrasher Group and Forge Business Solutions. Over the last two years, Lyndsey was the Assistant Communications Director at the West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office. In this role, her primary responsibility was to raise public awareness of the Office’s programs – such as the Hope Scholarship – through developing social media content, preparing press releases, and assisting with publicity events.

In her spare time, Lyndsey enjoys traveling around the beautiful state of West Virginia, reading, watching movies, and spending time with her friends and family. (Fun fact: Her favorite film is Powell and Pressburger’s 1948 masterpiece, “The Red Shoes.”)
