Lindsey Lupow joins Aspen Film after nearly two decades in finance and her last role as Program Director at a local nonprofit focused on Mental Fitness, where she led programming, created and managed events, handled marketing and graphic design, and built brand strategy. Combining financial rigor, creative programming experience, and people‑first leadership, Lindsey builds reliable systems, manages budgets, and delivers memorable experiences under pressure.

Off the clock she lives for sunshine, music, hiking, travel, and she brings that adventurous energy to her Life and Health coaching practice, which guides people through life transitions with clear strategies, actionable life-changing steps, and steady, no nonsense support. Lindsey is a proud mother to her daughter, Caitlyn, and a devoted best friend to her goldendoodle, Charley Mae. She also loves to cook and jokingly says she was Asian in a past life, able to whip up any Asian dish without a recipe.

Regna originally joined the Aspen Film team in 2014, and has enjoyed a range of full and part-time positions within the organization across nearly every department. She is thrilled to join the team again in a role near and dear to her heart to continue to amplify and develop the education department as a robust and integral part of the mission of Aspen Film. Regna holds a M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction through the Arts from Lesley University and uses an interdisciplinary approach to development and community engagement. It has been her great privilege to work in support of the arts through a fulfilling and winding pursuit of creative and impactful work, both in private and nonprofit sectors, for 30+ years.
