Advocate. Speaker. Artist. Community Builder.
The Heart Behind the Work
Linda’s work is deeply shaped by her experiences as the parent of a son with an intellectual and developmental disability (IDD).
Through that journey, she experienced both the beauty and the challenges that many families navigating disabilities face every day.
She also saw something else:
Many people genuinely want to be supportive and inclusive but often don’t know where to begin.
That realization became the foundation for her work.
Today, Linda helps people move beyond uncertainty and fear by creating approachable conversations, creative experiences, educational resources, and practical tools that encourage understanding and action.
