She started in the Accounts Receivable department and later applied for the Special Commodity Division.

Linda then took a break from the industry and started her own day care facility out of her home. On average she watched 10 kids ranging from new born to 3rd grade. This allowed her to stay at home and raise her daughter Andrea.
