Appointed: 2001

Lynn grew up in Carpinteria, where she attended Carpinteria High School, just down the road from Cate. She lived in Louisiana for a short time before returning to Carpinteria, where she raised her two sons, Ryder ’17 and Gage. On the weekends, you can find Lynn on the pickleball court.

Lynn manages the day-to-day operations that keep the Admission Office moving, from interview assignments and campus visits to admission events, receptions, and enrollment and re-enrollment contracts. She maintains Cate’s admissions database and statistics and is often one of the first people that prospective students and families connect with as they begin navigating the admissions process. Lynn also serves as Cate’s Principal Designated School Official (PDSO), overseeing I-20s for international students, and works with the Director of Financial Assistance and Enrollment on financial aid contracts.
