Lindsey Kohler began working at Royal Oak Manner in April of 2012. Prior to becoming a service coordinator, Lindsey worked at Beaumont, Catholic Social Services, and for the Disability Network.
Lindsey received her Associates Degree from Oakland Community College in 2005. She went on to receive her Bachelors Degree in 2010 from Baker. Lindsey then completed her MSW at Wayne State University in 2013. During her education, she interned at Grace Centers of Hope and Common Ground. She currently is preparing for her LMSW. Lindsey has not ruled out getting her PHD, but is waiting until her son gets older to take on that educational endeavor.
Lindsey’s hobbies and interests including spending time with her adorable son and traveling. She has traveled to many countries in Europe, the U.K., and even to China. Although she does not have a favorite movie or book, she remembers loving Pride & Prejudice when she was younger.
I had the pleasure of shadowing Lindsey at Royal Oak Manor while completing my internship at Luella Hannan Memorial Foundation. One thing that is apparent is her passion for helping her clients. She has had much experience in the field of social work and “has always been aware of those who struggled but benefited from the field of social work.”
