About Me

Behind the scenes

Mentor, artist, yogi, runner, truth-seeker . . . I am a deeply caring human, constantly astonished at the gift it is to simply be alive. With all that I do, and everyone I touch, I hope in some way to contribute to making the world a better place, each interaction at a time.

I dream of the digital space as a reflection of our greatest dreams, visions and our window to the world. I am excited by opportunities that enhance the experience of community, engagement, delight. Using technology as a tool to deepen our understanding of our world and each other constantly inspires me, as I look forward to a brighter more aware and more connected future together.

I hope you enjoy browsing through a few windows into my world below. These are a few of the things that you may find me doing when I am off the clock.

Raising Awareness through Running

I am distance runner, and a proud finisher of three NYC marathons. Running has been a powerful tool in my life that has demonstrated my capacity for endurance, perseverance and surpassing things which I perceive are insurmountable.

The lessons and metaphors resonate and are many. One important realization is that “the first mile is a liar”. Your mind and body will tell you stories about your limitations; but if you can push past you just might unleash your strength and learn that you are capable of so much more.

Pivotal to my running journey was reaching beyond the personal experience to extend my voice for many in our world in need of support. I have raised thousands of dollars for cancer research with Sloan Kettering. I have supported opportunities for underprivelged kids in NYC. I have raised awareness for those with Austism, a cause very dear to my heart. I have learned that to run for myself is empowering, but to dedicate my running to others is transformative.

Visual Arts

Much of what I am inspired to explore and communicate through my art is an awareness of the multidimensional aspects of our experience. Through reflection, I expose the multitude of levels or planes that we journey through together; how those intersect, where they cause or reduce friction.

I capture the delicate dance that we are all engaged in - whether we are conscious of it or not - a dance with each other, with our planet, with our universe, with ourSelves…

Making my way through the streets of NYC has always been ground for deep inspiration. My ground up perspective is rooted in finding the extraordinary in the most ordinary of moments. Many of my photos were taken while commuting, inspired by the people, the bridges, and the tunnels of New York.

Mentorship

ONE TO ONES

WITH LINDA

“One to Ones” began in the classroom with my students, when each week, I would meet individually with them to talk about their progress, answer their questions, discuss their goals. But what I found was that these conversations took on new life and extended beyond the course to talk about their dreams, their challenges, and often uncovered more insightful revelations to their ultimate “why” leading a clearer pathway to “how”.

Towards the end of each cohort, I developed a workshop as a tool for graduates to take the habits, lessons, and mindset along with them into the next phase of their lives. Many students continued to reach out, even after establishing footing in their careers for continued guidance. They affectionately refer to these as One to Ones with Linda, are as much gifts to me as they are my students. I hope to continue mentoring for years to come.
