Linda earned an Associate of Applied Science in business from Black Hawk College in 1990, followed by a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Western Illinois University in 1993. She achieved her Certified Public Accountant designation in 1995, further strengthening a career built on financial expertise and leadership.

Her professional accomplishments have been matched by a deep commitment to service. Linda has served on numerous boards and committees throughout the region, supporting organizations focused on childcare, financial development, community advancement, faith-based outreach, and philanthropy.
