​Who is this Linda?
Cybersecurity & Solutions Architect | Microsoft 365 + AI | Speaker | Community Builder
I’m a cybersecurity and solutions architect who loves turning complex technology into something people can actually use — and get excited about.
My work is all about clarity, security, and human connection — whether I’m speaking at a conference, helping a customer deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot, or mentoring someone just starting their journey into tech.

How I Got Here
I didn’t grow up dreaming of working in IT — but when I found it, I knew I had found my place.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked in system administration, consulting, and solution architecture, with a deep focus on Microsoft 365 and cloud security. I’ve helped companies of all sizes simplify their environments, improve their security posture, and prepare for the future — especially the AI-powered one we’re stepping into now.
Why I Built This Space
Because I believe we need more voices in tech — and not just the loudest ones.
This site is here to share what I’ve learned, open doors for others, and show that there’s room for everyone — especially women — to lead, to learn, and to thrive in tech.
