For our very first School Psychologist Spotlight, we chose 8-year school psychologist, Lindsay Fjelland, who is an Iowa native working in the same schools she attended as a child. Lindsay is a school psychologist in Heartland AEA serving two Johnston elementary schools with students in developmental Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Lindsay graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with her BA in Psychology and minor in Family Studies. After college, she got married and moved to Wisconsin where she attained her M.S.Ed. and Ed.S. degrees at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. She returned to Iowa to complete her internship at Heartland Area Education Agency, and she has served various districts within Heartland AEA over her career.
