She received her BSW from Eastern University, her MSW from Temple University, and her Ph.D from the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research at Bryn Mawr College in 2010. Though she did not necessarily anticipate becoming the Ph.D Program Director, Linda could not be more excited for this new role. She shares that the main reason she accepted this position is because the Center's faculty is so supportive and truly works together, which makes overseeing a Ph.D program and coordinating dissertation committees much easier and more enjoyable.
