Although Linda was born in Chicago and spent most of her childhood in Indianapolis, she considers the south her home. She says…“I’ve been blessed with many opportunities and have lived and worked in so many wonderful and interesting places but the strongest connection has always been to the south. I headed south to attend college and spent many years here afterward. Those experiences years ago built a strong foundation and helped me grow into the woman I am today. I’m thrilled to be back in this part of the country where values are strong and family and good friends are truly cherished. WJTV was the perfect fit for me at this point of my life and career and I’m looking forward to building the next phase of my life in Jackson.
