Linda enjoys broadcast journalism because it's a "people business." She chose her career because of that and because of the visual images that go hand in hand in delivering broadcast news, not to mention the immediacy of the medium. She enjoys meeting new people and the variety in her job… no two days are the same. One of her passions is her community work.

She grew up performing in the Peru Circus spending many years flying on a trapeze. Her interests include reading, sports with her family, circuses and walking.
