Linda was born in New York, N.Y. and worked as a registered nurse for over 30 years in the USA, Germany, South Vietnam, and Canada. Along with her husband, Bill, she was an international accompanier for returning refugees from Mexico to Guatemala after the end to the 30-year civil war. Linda and her husband returned many times to Latin America in the ensuing years working in Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua as volunteers with various non-profit organizations dedicated to helping orphans and other marginalized groups in these countries.
In 2000 Bill and Linda started work as full-time faith-based missionaries with the Mayan Pokomchí tribal group in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, for the international organization, Food for the Hungry. They then spent 3 ½ years with Helps International and, in 2004, they founded their own organization called Hope of the Pokomchí, ASOSAP.
Linda is a member of the U.S. Board of Directors and International Coordinator for Hope of the Pokomchí, ASOSAP. She is based in Canada but travels several times a year to Guatemala to interface with the Pokomchí staff.
