Lindsey Scott          

Actress & Coder Advocating for Women & Minorities in Technology; Former Victoria Secret Model

After graduating from Amherst College in 2006 with dual majors in Theater and Computer Science, Lyndsey found herself catapulted into the international world of highfashion after becoming the first African-American model to be awarded an exclusive contract with Calvin Klein in 2009. Since then, she's walked the runways for clients such as Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, and Victoria's Secret and appeared in campaigns for clients such as DKNY and Covergirl and magazines such as W and Italian Vogue.

Although still working as a model and actress, Lyndsey has returned to her love for technology and now also devotes much of her time to programming iOS apps, several of which are currently available on the Apple App Store. She enjoys helping others with their code — she’s ranked as one of the top iOS answerers on the number #1 programming site, Stack Overflow; has recently joined the prestigious tutorial team at raywenderlich.com; and has done video tutorials for kids co-starring the likes of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg for Code.org. Lyndsey also devotes her time to promoting computer science education and makes a special effort to get more women and minorities into tech.
