daughter and husband.
Linda loves living in

the little red dot she now
calls home. She also runs
a group called Coffee &
Chat, which she set up to
help people meet and make
new friends on the island.Alexandra Christensen
moved to Singapore in
2015 with her family
and is grateful for all the
friendships she’s made, the
countries she’s visited in this
part of the world and the
entrepreneurial opportunity
it has given her. Her greatest
passion is good service
and she has now set up a
company where she coaches
retail staff in improving the
customer experience. She
loves exploring new gems
and corners of Singapore.

college sweetheart, she is also
a mother to two. Her passions
include fitness, travelling and
whipping up amateur MasterChef

is a model country in terms of
efficiency, safety and being so
welcoming.
