Lindsey Temaat, Managing Editor
KCM 2019 Journalist of The Year
Lindsey Temaat is a twenty-year-old sophomore from Leonardville, Kan., attending Allen Community College. She is pursuing a degree in communications, and plans to transfer to a four year university next year. Last year Temaat served as the first Managing Editor of the Flame, and has returned to her position for a second year. As a freshman, she also enjoyed getting heavily involved in theater productions and choir as well as serving as the Freshman Class Representative on the Student Senate at Allen, and as a communications intern at Thrive Allen County.
Prior to Allen, Temaat had many opportunities to show her public relations skills. She had written for her local newspaper, The Riley Countian, for three years. She was also given the opportunity to promote a local band by distributing and designing flyers and helping the band gain publicity. All of these things she did on her own initiative.
Temaat recently completed her year long internship at Thrive Allen County, is now the Student Senate President at Allen, and works as the Marketing Communications Manager for the city of La Harpe, Kan. Temaat is not only eager about gaining the skills she needs for future jobs in public relations, but she is also excited to continue to get students more involved in the community during her last semester at Allen.
Temaat stated her favorite student life event is dollar blizzard night. When asked “If you were an ice cream, what kind would you be,” she responded with butter pecan because she is sweet and just a little nutty.
