 About Us :: Lindsey Paige Markus, M.A., J.D.
 



Lindsey couldn't wait to participate in Instrumental Enrichment. She convinced her mother to allow her to attend her after school classes at the age of 5 and by the age of 8, she had completed every exercise at least twice. Throughout high school and summer breaks from college, Lindsey assisted Dr. Markus in her children’s programs and was trained as a mediator in Designs for Strong Minds™.

Lindsey graduated with honors in 3 years from Brandeis University in 1997 with a B. A. in Economics and minors in Spanish and Managerial Business. In addition, Lindsey was accepted to the Lemberg Graduate School at Brandeis University’s accelerated 5 year B. A./M. A. program. Lindsey was the first student allowed to finish the program in just 4 years. She received her M. a. in International Economics and Finance from Brandeis University in 1998. As part of the program, Lindsey had the opportunity to study abroad in Milan, Italy and speaks Spanish and conversational Italian.

Upon receiving her Masters Degree, Lindsey worked in the areas of finance and business development where she structured financing deals and created joint ventures with domestic media conglomerates as well as international land line and wireless providers. Lindsey leverages her international studies and work experience with her work on the "Welcome to the United States" program - a comprehensive program of services for Chinese corporations and high net worth persons interested in the United States.

Lindsey joined Dr. Markus full-time in the summer of 2001. Lindsey works with Dr. Markus in Highland Park and has also established a Chicago-based office where she sees clients privately. Given her business and finance experience, Lindsey has been instrumental in facilitating the growth of the organization. Over the past two years, she has worked with Dr. Markus on a myriad of projects. These projects have included working with NASA to convert her DSM framework to virtual reality, patenting an interactive computer game, developing exercises related to the aging brain, successfully remediating post-traumatic brain injured patients, creating interactive DSM exercises with the University of Pennsylvania’s engineering department for global distance learning programs and co-authoring a book, Retrain Your Brain.
