Linda

Copywriter

Linda’s love of writing started with a love of reading. As a child, Linda's mother remarked that she would literally read anything you put in front of her: magazines, books, newspapers, cereal boxes. Eventually, that love of reading became an interest in writing. She started writing her own stories in elementary school and later became the editor of her college newspaper.

From there, she moved into public relations, telling the stories of the organizations she represented. Thirteen years ago, she began working for a marketing agency and has never looked back. She likes the varied work of having multiple clients, each with their own unique story just waiting to be told. To the right audience, of course.

Linda likes delving into what makes each client special, finding the right audience and delivering the right message.
