Her career has also included leadership in oncology services, clinical coordination, nursing education, and bedside critical care.

Linda began her nursing career after returning to the profession later in life following the birth of her children. She built her career primarily within HCA facilities, progressing from bedside registered nursing into clinical education, coordination, and nursing administration before returning to ICU bedside care during the COVID period.

Mentorship and professional development are central to Linda's work. She has dedicated significant time to teaching, precepting, and supporting the next generation of nurses, contributions that earned her the HCA Mentorship Award. She credits supportive educators and experienced nurses with helping shape her own career and believes that professionals can learn both by observing effective practices and by recognizing what should be avoided. Her approach to nursing emphasizes resilience, self-care, purpose, kindness, and honesty. Outside of her professional responsibilities, she enjoys hiking New Hampshire's 4,000-foot mountains, knitting, and reading, and she has also expressed interest in developing nurse life coaching as a future avenue focused on preventative health.
