Linda grew up in Woodbridge, Connecticut and has one younger brother. Both her parents worked in the medical profession, but her mom suspended her career while her children were young. Linda describes her loving childhood home as neurotically clean and organized.

Linda graduated from Dartmouth College with a degree in English. After college, she moved to Boston because her friend needed a roommate and she didn't have a better idea. Once in Boston, Linda took a job as a Housing Paralegal in a Legal Services organization, which provided legal counsel to indigent tenants with housing problems. She then applied and was accepted to Boston University where she earned a Master of Arts in Teaching in Secondary English.

After completing her Master's, Linda moved back to Connecticut, got married and started her teaching career at a private school in Cheshire, Connecticut, where she taught for four years. She finished her school obligations at 9:00pm on June 4th and went into labor with her daughter at 10:00pm that evening. Talk about time management! For the next two years Linda was a full-time mom. However, when her daughter was one, Linda's marriage unraveled irreparably and she embarked upon a new journey as a single mom, which included a move to New York.

That journey was exhausting and empowering and lasted for several years. When she met Dan Brill, she knew she had finally found Mr. Right, so he and his two teenage children did the Brady Bunch thing with Linda and her daughter. Successfully merging two houses required excellent organization skills and Linda was definitely up to the challenge. All the while, she continued to teach high school English part time and also to teach writing at the college level. Her love of decorating and design led her to a brief stint as a designer at a home decorating store. She sees no correlation between her hire and the store's filing for chapter seven. Really.

When her friend Lorna approached her about starting an organizing business, Linda was hooked. It combines her love of organizing and design with her teaching and people skills, and thus began Blissfully Organized.

Like her business partner, Linda joined NAPO, the National Association of Professional Organizers, in 2006 and has attended several national conferences.
