Linda Brooks, executive director and founder, is dedicated to empowering individuals through gainful employment. After more than 20 years as an educator and psychologist, Linda decided to change paths and pursue a career in public service.
Her goal is to help disadvantaged men and women overcome the last obstacle they might face in obtaining employment - "looking the part" with self-confidence and assurance. Linda and her staff know how to put together the perfect outfit!
