Lindsey Dunn
I was born in Tennessee and moved to Indiana shortly after. I graduated from Ball State U. with a B.A. in English and Creative Writing. After moving to North Carolina, I started on a Master's program in Library Science. With my MLS, I have worked as a teen librarian since 2002. The two most important things to me are my Christian walk and my relationships. I also love books, movies, music, dancing, and writing. I would especially like to answer relationship questions, so feel free to send me any suggestions.
