Lynda Lantz grew up in Northern VA. She graduated with a degree in music from George Mason University and went on to work in campus ministry at four universities in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Florida. She was living in PA when she met her husband, Steve, on eHarmony and moved to Miami in 2011 just a few days after their wedding. Shortly before becoming a SAHM, she was employed as an adoption caseworker while working part-time in campus ministry at UM and later Johnson & Wales University. Since then, she’s been heavily involved in organizations dedicated to serving women. She loves working with Miami Mom Collective and introducing people to this city she’s come to call home, where she lives with her husband and two children.
