Linda first met Rinpoche in 1996. A few years later, she organized a teaching for Rinpoche in New York City at John Giorno’s Bunker in SoHo. Shortly after, she joined the Siddhartha’s Intent Western Door Board of Directors and has been happily organizing Rinpoche’s teachings in New York City ever since.

Linda is also USA representative for Khyentse Foundation and was one of the core organizers of the Buddhist Literary Heritage Project in 2009, a seminal gathering of renowned translators that later became known as 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha. She left her job in the import/export industry in 2021 and now enjoys her time writing, watching films and traveling.
