Lindsay Rosenthal

Special Assistant

Lindsay Rosenthal is the Special Assistant for Domestic Policy at the Center for American Progress, working with the Education, Health, and Women’s Rights departments. In 2010, Lindsay earned her master’s degree from the University of Chicago, where she studied the relationship between adolescent parenting among youth in foster care and multigenerational involvement in the child welfare system. Her studies were informed by her direct-service experience as a home visitor and child advocate with the Florida Guardian Ad Litem Program.

Prior to joining American Progress, Lindsay worked on research and program development for the Illinois Subsequent Pregnancy Program, a nonprofit that helps at-risk adolescent mothers to delay a second pregnancy and graduate from high school. She also served as a White House intern in the Domestic Policy Council. Originally from Miami, Lindsay received her B.A. in English literature and women’s studies from Florida International University.
