Bio

Linda spent 13 years at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where she served as the Director of Campus Recreation, before joining William & Mary in 1999. She was honored to be named an Honorary Alumna of William & Mary in 2025.

During her tenure at W&M, both the recreation team and its facilities have grown significantly. Linda’s favorite part of her work is the meaningful impact she and her team can make on students, as well as the strong relationships she has built throughout her time on campus.

Outside of work, Linda enjoys spending as much time outdoors as possible. She loves traveling, golfing, hiking, going to the beach, and engaging in most outdoor activities. She is also an enthusiastic sports fan—especially of college football, college basketball, Virginia Tech Hokies football, and William & Mary Women’s Basketball are her favorite teams to watch.
