Linda is originally from Cúcuta, Colombia, and moved to Miami, Florida, at the age of seven. She earned an Associate of Arts degree from Miami Dade College (MDC) before transferring to Roger Williams University (RWU), where she completed both her Bachelor and Master of Architecture degrees. While at RWU, Linda played a key role in developing a partnership between MDC and RWU, creating a pathway for diverse students to pursue a Bachelor of Architecture. During her final semester, she received an award for her architectural thesis.

Linda joined Vision 3 Architects shortly after graduating and is a member of the Workplace Studio. She has contributed to a variety of projects, including the Carpenters Union, Kent County Water Authority (KCWA), AIPSO Ohio, Michigan Automobile Insurance Placement Facility (MAIPF), and the Ledvance, LLC Site Redevelopment. She views architecture as a tool for solving challenges within both society and the built environment. Linda is also passionate about community service and believes that learning from others through involvement in local non-profits is essential to personal and professional growth.

Outside the office, Linda serves as an adjunct faculty member at RWU, where she teaches the Digital Workshop course in the university’s Summer Exploring Architecture program for high school students. In her free time, she enjoys weight training, dancing, golfing, traveling, spending time with friends, and going on adventures with her wife and their mini Goldendoodle, Louie.
