S1E24 | Lindsay Hood – Crushing life with Amniotic Band Syndrome & Adaptive Power Lifting

by | May 8, 2019

Lindsay Hood is an Assignment Editor at NBC 7 / Telemundo 20 where she handles guests on her TV show. Lindsay was born with Amniotic Band Syndrome that resulted in losing her fingers and a leg when she’s still inside the womb. She experienced bullying as a kid because of her condition that made her childhood a little bit tougher. Despite her condition, she played volleyball and she has thrived as an adaptive athlete playing Women’s Football for 7 years.

Lindsay has a degree in American Studies from the San Diego State University, an MBA and a Master’s Degree in Human Computer Interaction.

We talked about some of these topics:

  • Experiences she went through as a child with her condition
  • Working on a morning show and taking naps
  • Lindsay’s love for animals
  • What is Amniotic Band Syndrome and how rare is it
  • Sports that she played as an adaptive athlete
