BUSINESS MANAGER
Linda
Jacobs -
Linda has thirty something years
experience in heathcare and accounting. I am married with
three children and four grandchildren. I moved back home to
College Station 18 years ago after living in the Houston
area most of my childhood and as a young adult. My family
has been a part of the Brazos Valley for several previous
generations. My sons were off to college and we decided our
daughter would benefit from College Station schools. She
attended college, Aggie Class of 2003, and moving away after
graduation returned to settle with her husband in College
Station. My sons live in Austin and Houston with their
families and we visit often. I enjoy my little dogs,
reading, scrapbooking pictures for my grandsons, spending
time with my husband and my family.
