After living abroad for many years in the Netherlands Antilles, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Cameroun, Maldives, Australia and Uganda, Linda returned to the Netherlands in 2002.

Linda has had a variety of jobs in the above mentioned countries as well as in the Netherlands. This has made her versatile in her actions and her contact with people from various backgrounds and nationalities.

Her jobs ranged from Consular Assistant at Embassies, Actuarial Calculator, Chemical Analyst, Scuba Diving Instructor, Phytopathologist to Secretary and Educational assistant. She is very much interested in ICT. But she is also trying to become an expert in furniture making. Another of her passions is specializing in identification of precious and semi precious gems. She graduated as a Chemical Analyst (Leiden, University of Applied Sciences) and a Phytopathologist (Wageningen University). She took a didactical course. She recently (2021) obtained  a certificate in NLP coaching.

At the moment she is employed as an Office/Project Manager at the Chair Group of Plant Production Systems at  Wageningen University. Other areas of interest within the job: Financial/Project Management. Last but not least: contact with people and coaching them!
