Hi, I’m Linda. As I look back on a lifetime, I recognize the blessings along the way. When I was a high school senior, a sweet lady in our church asked if I planned to become a missionary. I associated missionaries as deeply devout Christians who uprooted their entire lives to serve God in some foreign country. It took only a second for me to respond, “I want to serve God through a career working in our country.” Well, those weren’t the exact words, but they represented my goals. Several degrees later and numerous areas of work mainly related to education, I realized I was a missionary in a broad field of the workplace.

My education includes degrees in foods, nutrition, and education. As a registered dietitian nutritionist, I experienced numerous opportunities to serve on committees, boards, and organizations with wonderful individuals nationwide. Yet, home held a special place in my heart, especially my kitchen and gardens. My easy-going husband was always ready to try a new dish, dig another hole for plants I brought home, and encouraged me in outside responsibilities.
