Linda has dedicated her scientific career to finding innovative solutions for complex problems
As an Industrial Microbiologist, she was awarded twelve patents for her research in water treatment, sustainable energy production, as well as water reuse and recovery projects. She started her own international technical consulting business in 2007.
In Springfield, as in the lab, Linda will make well-reasoned, evidence-based decisions
Her scientific experience uniquely prepares her to contribute value to the existential climate change and clean energy issues facing Illinois.
