Lindsey served a full-time mission on New York City and graduated from BYU after her missionary service. Lindsey has also participated in the church’s new interview series for youth called Face to Face.
In an interview with Forbes, Lindsey commented on the popular video platform saying, “What I love about YouTube is that it allows the platform to go anywhere.” Lindsey’s popular videos have received over one BILLION views worldwide and her YouTube channel has amassed over 7 million subscribers. This all adds up to big bucks for the internet superstar. Lindsey continued saying, “We all use YouTube in our own unique way to create our own careers. However, you can branch off.
