I have been privileged enough to work with Linda in undertaking some complex legal matters and I can certainly ascertain she is open minded, a team player, meticulous and always ready to learn to better herself daily. She is professional and zealous when it comes to legal matters. Linda and I also, schooled together at the Kenya School of Law and I have seen her show exemplary skills in her personal growth as well as in her professional journey. I would definitely recommend Linda for anyone looking for someone who is professional; a person with integrity; detail oriented; a team player and someone willing to put her best foot forward to ensure she performs her tasks to their fullest. Regards, Jouville Omar

Linda's contribution to our project One Day in 2050 was both inspiring and heart-touching. It really caught the essence of the initiative advocating for climate change activation. It was an honour to have her on board as part of the future-narratives based on 2050 family.
