About Linda

A proud first-generation American, Linda graduated into the Great Recession, worked three jobs to pay off student loans, and taught herself to invest, all while building a corporate career managing multimillion-dollar marketing campaigns across tech, agency, and Fortune 500 companies.

WHY LINDA?
What makes Linda different?
Most financial wellness and career strategy speakers talk at your audience. Linda walks alongside them and guides them through the journey.
As a first-generation Southeast Asian American who grew up on welfare, translated government documents for her immigrant parents, graduated into the Great Recession, and reached financial freedom at 36, Linda brings a perspective that traditional financial and career strategy voices simply cannot offer.
She has spent 14+ years managing multimillion-dollar budgets in corporate, agency, and tech. She knows the language of the boardroom and the reality of the paycheck-to-paycheck grind. That dual experience is exactly what makes her content land differently.

Speaker series
"Linda’s workshop opened my eyes to the pressures of being Gen Z in the current economy and how lifestyle inflation can creep up on anyone. It is difficult when it is a silent struggle, but her reiterating the realities of this economy showed me that I wasn’t alone. Since this workshop, I've reframed how I see myself and my spending habits...[Linda] helped me to be comfortable by choosing to prioritize where my money is going to meet my financial goals. "
— Vivian R., Gen Z marketer and workshop attendee
"What stood out to me was that she mentioned how to slow down on being influenced by other people's lifestyles on social media in this day and age, since many Gen Z individuals like to compare themselves. Linda truly understands that managing finances and watching the financial news can be daunting."
— Anonymous, Millennial marketer and workshop attendee
"After attending Linda's session, I felt much more confident saying no to impulse buys. I’ve learned to think twice and distinguish between 'wants' and 'needs.' Her advice also gave me the final push to open my Roth IRA which is a huge step toward my goal of financial freedom."
— Anthony S., Marketer and workshop attendee
"Listening to your session gave me a bunch of tidbits to take back to my workplace! Thanks for taking the time to talk to us."
— Shaye Matthews, Millennial public educator
