She graduated from Harvard University in 2009 with an A.B. in Chemistry, a secondary in Health Care Policy, and a language citation in Spanish. She is a John Harvard Scholar, a published author, and has been active in a variety of leadership roles ranging from director of an after-school program to designing and implementing new teaching strategies for underserved schools in Chile.

Linda has been active in AMWA through various leadership roles. She became involved during her first year of medical school, serving as Co-President of the Harvard AMWA chapter and then as Region 1 Student Coordinator. The following year, she was elected to the position of National Student President-Elect and during her tenure she served as the student liaison for both the National AMWA Membership Committee and the Women's Health Working Group. Through these committees she has helped design and implement new strategies for physician member recruitment and additionally has participated in projects that continue to push the discussion for the inclusion of gender- and sex-specific medicine into the medical school curricula. As AMWA National Student President-Elect, Linda oversaw contract negotiations and secured new membership recruitment incentives, including preparatory course discounts.

Linda is excited to continue to move AMWA forward as a professional organization by securing more membership benefits, expanding the student division into new schools, and continuing to promote student-physician mentorship opportunities.
