This experience and coursework in biology, chemistry and biomedical ethics led her to the American Cancer Society where she served as a Cancer Resource Volunteer for four years. Her strong foundation and passion for quantitative methods led her back to biochemical research where she has been for the past year and a half. Linda is extremely motivated in developing her skills as an environmental health specialist and is honored to have been chosen for this program.
