Born in Brooklyn, raised on Long Island, and dwelt in a tiny apartment in
Manhattan for 34 years, Linda is the quintessential native New Yorker. Yet,
through the years, she has lived in far-off remote places such as Madagascar,
Hawaii, and Switzerland.
After globetrotting the planet, she moved back into Manhattan to pursue a career
as an actress in the performing arts. In time, Linda swapped out the stage for an
office out of Wall Street where she worked in marketing and communications.
In time, her personal life took an unexpected turn when she got married and
moved to Pittsburgh where she continues to write business documents for
professional clients and is back in the performing arts. Since relocating to
Pittsburgh, Linda has performed with the Pittsburgh Irish Classical Theatre
(PICT), has served on the board for the SAG-AFTRA’s Ohio-Pittsburgh Local, is a
member of SAG-AFTRA’s National Communications Committee and is an
alternate contributing editor for the SAG-AFTRA Industry magazine. While in
New York, she appeared in Off-Broadway as well as multiple Off-Off-Broadway
productions and regional theater. Yet, closest to her heart was the production of
Gridlock, a five-act comedy review she wrote, produced, and performed at the
West Bank Café. She has been featured in numerous commercials, film, and
television series. Most noted credits are Saturday Night Live, All My Children, Law
and Order, and New Jack City.
During 2020 when the world came to a standstill, Linda came up with an idea,
Pressing Beyond, a podcast to give hope. The podcast highlights personal stories
of how people have pressed beyond unyielding obstacles to reach their calling
and live out their true purpose. It has been uploaded in unprecedented numbers
and continues to expand.
Linda holds a BA in Theatre from Hunter College and an MA in Corporate
Communications from Fordham University. She is working on her next book and
when not at her desk, she is either training for her next marathon or snow skiing
in some far-off destination. She and her husband live in Western Pennsylvania.
