Linda is a semi-retired high school performing arts teacher. Her recent involvement with the Pharmacogenomics (PGx) for Depression project allowed a deep dive into genetics, health economic modeling, and the opportunity to become a patient researcher. She strongly believes in the value of People with Lived Experience becoming agents of change in all aspects of transforming health care. Overall, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, the visual and performing arts, mindfulness, experiencing the outdoors, travel, social justice, and improved and equitable health care.
