Linda has had a multifaceted career since graduating with a degree in business from Waikato University. She is an award-winning health and safety professional, educator, artist and TEDx speaker.

While working in industrial relations and education she created a project called 'When I Grow Up', aimed at teaching 4-9 year olds about workplace health and safety - in an effort to curb dismal teenage workplace injury rates around the world.

She was invited to give a TEDx talk on the same project and in 2019 was named one of Health + Safety at Work Magazine's top 40 under 40 innovators and influencers in workplace health and safety.

Originally from New Zealand and now based in Melbourne, Linda is also an exhibiting visual artist predominantly working in the mediums of fine art photography, film, illustration and digital art. Linda is also a writer and dancer, preferring to work in whatever medium lends itself best to the stories that want to be told.
