She is articulate and inspiring in the most humble and relatable way. Linda brings so much curiosity, passion and genuine care to her work, a wealth of knowledge and innate ability to not only see potential, but to motivate others to manifest that into reality.”— Rachel Kendrigan, Community Planning Officer, Mildura Rural City Council
