Linda is a past Youth Worker, Tutor and is currently working in Tenancy for Emergency and Social Housing. A theatre nerd since primary school saw her continue acting through high school and beyond. Moving to Westport in 2002 , she joined Onstage Productions in Westport as an actor, drama tutor and director. Since moving back to the Wairarapa she has been involved in all the local theatre groups in many ways. This included acting, stage management and front of House. Actually anything that was needed, she would do.

She along with Paul Percy founded a youth theatre group that has participated successfully in the TheatreFest for several years, along with directing several local very successful Youth dramas and musicals.

A recent joy has been joining and performing in the local Border Morris Group Scallyrags.

Linda is passionate about creating community, encouraging others, and first and foremost promoting theatre in all forms. Living in the Wairarapa has allowed her to experience the Wellington Theatre scene to the fullest and she is excited to be able to meet , assist and promote the endeavours of the lower North Island Theatre groups
