Linda earned a BA in Theology from Westminster College, Oxford, and a nursing degree from Texas Christian University and as a Betty Irene Moore Fellow; she earned a PhD in nursing at UCSF in 2009. Linda conducted an original, qualitative study in Malawi, Central Africa to determine interest in community-based participatory research (CBPR). Linda interviewed staff from non-governmental organizations about issues of trust, donor power and women. Community-based participatory research is a particular area of interest because of its egalitarian approach to research and its success in obtaining sustainable results in communities. Linda’s background includes working as a residential social worker in a children’s home in England, five years of hemodialysis nursing and over eight years managing and later directing community health and youth programs and services for a large non-profit organization. Linda is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor at UCSF where she teaches community health and effective communication for the Master’s Entry Program in Nursing.
