Since then, she has been employed by the Cosanti Foundation as land stewardship manager. Linn has developed and oversees an ecological restoration project at Arcosanti, focusing on removing invasive species and revegetating the Agua Fria's riparian habitat. In her free time, Linn loves to knit, explore, and go on walks with her senior chihuahua.
