Linda Yip

Linda has worked in software development for corporate accounting for 27 years as a Consultant prior to coming to Clarity. She earned her BS degree in Computing Information from Loma Linda University in California and a few years later she transplanted to the Northwest.

Linda has been a remote contractor for most of her working life. When Clarity needed a remote worker, it was an easy transition, and getting out of the large corporate world was a welcome change. Linda enjoys the smaller more personable environment that Clarity offers, and the variety of clients Clarity supports.

Although Linda misses the bright, sunny days of California, she enjoys the beauty and the mountains of the Northwest. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, biking, kayaking, and motorcycling. She also volunteers in various capacities at her local church. linda@clarityei.com
