ABOUT Linda Ross

Wielding my puny B.A, I waded into the employment pool to wear an eclectic array of career hats: symphony musician, automobile salesperson, clerical, public speaking consultant, media account representative, media planner, copy writer, regional theatre and opera, human resources, and a deep dive into corporate land’s learning & development. Along the way, I collected wide-eyed observations and juicy human tidbits for future stories.

My  writer’s soul simmered for years. I volunteered to transform lackluster department newsletters, independently enlivened boring managerial curriculum and created endless limericks in the margins of spreadsheets during zombie-inducing meetings.
