About Linnet
Linnet is a public accountant and a karate instructor (when not working too hard as an accountant) making her a certified geek by day and ninja by night. She’s fiercely loyal, consistently spontaneous, and always looking forward to another adventure.
Indulge in these 10 random facts:
- Perhaps the most rewarding moment so far in life has been watching students develop from the 1st day they started karate to the day they received their black belt.
- Ridiculously huge fan of tennis, especially men’s tennis. You will always catch me rooting for Andre Agassi (retired), Justine Henin (retired), Roger Federer, James Blake, and Raphael Nadal.
- Spent most of my time before college being in the spotlight, and spent all of college being the kid who sat in the back row (on days I decided to show up to class).
- Sincerely believe that a huge string of unrelated events tracing back to 10 years ago has landed me exactly where I am in life today and even the company I work for. It’s all strangely coincidental, but it makes me feel like my life has direction and I belong where I am right now.
- This is perhaps my favorite candid photo of me. To my delight, it was in the Daily Bruin!
- Love watching movies, but I don’t always remember what they are about. I usually just take away a lesson and forget the plot, so I rarely mind watching a movie for the second, third, fourth time.
- Have participated in a ridiculous number of competitive individual sports and loved every single one of them. I’ve also loved every coach I’ve had and miss the ones I’ve lost contact with.
- Two words: Family first.
- Constantly looking for challenges. I think it’s important to be happy and grateful for what you have, but to have a hunger for something great(er) is equally important.
- I clap when I laugh.
Looking for more Linnet? I sometimes comment and recommend “Things to do, Places to see” in LA based on my adventures. I also occassionally post clips of my karate in action and videos of performances by the Tom Bloom Karate demonstration team.
