Linda, our Office and Operations Manager, knew she found her spiritual home the first time she attended a Sunday Celebration in 2007. With a strong interest in personal growth and searching for a positive and welcoming spiritual community, she was drawn to the Centers for Spiritual Living’s mission of “Awakening Humanity to Its Spiritual Magnificence.” She began taking classes and over time served on most of GPCSL’s volunteer teams. She later stepped up to serve on the Board, eventually serving as President for two years as the Center searched for and found its current Spiritual Leader. Linda currently serves as a CARE Support Leader and has led several small CARE groups.

Linda holds a B.A. in Economics and Business Administration from Immaculata University and prior to joining GPCSL, had more than 30 years of business experience as a versatile, results-oriented manager successful in customer service, operations, project management, process improvement and team building. She also served on the Board of the Philadelphia Area Coaches Alliance (now ICF Philadelphia) and later as its Director of Operations, as well as a Program Manager for the Habit Change Company. Linda is also the proud proprietor of the Inspiration Café where visitors ‘gather together to grow in spirit.’
