Our Team

I started Bened Life because I dreamed of building a world where all families can thrive. I am proud of my team and the their dedication to support my vision. My dream for my team at Bened Life is to visit Taiwan's night markets and get lost in their magic.

When given a choice, everyone knows I prefer non-fiction over fiction. I prefer to "get lost" in the adventure of exploring new places, meeting new people, and observing all the differences and similarities.

Tator Tot and Breezy. Guess which one is the dog and which one is the cat and which one actually likes tater tots and you win all the magical internet points!

Hiiiii! I'm the full-time friend maker around here. I love connecting with people and learning about the world from their point of view. If I were to give anything to a friend, it would be a copy of Eric Garcia's book, "We Are Not Broken."

It's important to me that we promote scientific information that is both relevant and accurate to our consumers. We work hard to prove -- with evidence -- that our probiotics can make a positive difference in your life.

I consider myself to be the Iron Man of Project Management (and we all agree). My dream is to gather the Bened team for a wedding bash. I have all the details worked out. Now, we just need someone on the team to fall in love so we can set this plan in motion!

I like working hard and playing harder. Outside of work, you can catch me doing one of two things: eating or drinking anything with chocolate OR training for my next triathlon.

People who know me know I love to help others, and that's why I love it here at Bened Life. I get to do what I do best with people who genuinely care. Outside of work, I like to camp with my family while kicking back with some tacos.

Yes, I like pineapple on pizza. Yes I would like to be addressed as the Bened Life Professional Social Media Scroller. And yes, we can be friends!

What's better than a picnic? Come along with me on a bike ride along the river and we'll find the perfect spot. I'm bringing Ginger Yuzu Water Kefir for us, what probiotics would you bring?

When I'm not making custom Slack emojis for the team, you can find me sipping on Honeydew Boba Milk Tea with Mango Jelly and slapping new tunes on my bass guitar.

My happy place is playing a game of chess while tucked away under the shade of a tree in my family's olive grove.

I'm the team's Continuous Improvement Guru, I love to be reliable and solution-driven for others. When it's time to relax, there's nothing I love better than to spend time with my kiddos.

In first grade, I picked my own name. I came home from school one day and decided Lynda embodied who I was. And I've been Lynda ever since.

Fun fact: I nicknamed my kiddo Yumi, which translates to beautiful friend in Japanese. She is my sun and daily reminder to embrace the warmth in life.

By day, I am a Customer Happiness superhero. By night, I am the Connoisseur of French Fries. I wear these capes to deliver smiles across the globe.

When given the choice between fiction and non-fiction, I'm team fiction all day, everyday.

I'm a big fan of karaoke and I think we should have a southern cookout while belting out our favorite songs (everyone's welcome). I'm passing the mic to you, what's your song?

Disney World is my happy place. I've compiled an ultimate guide on how and why it can be one of the funnest Autistic travel destinations.

My goal is to promote and support nonspeakers around the world. I would love to share my favorite Neurodiveristy Thought Leader with you -- please check out the International Association for Spelling as Communication.

As a religious home-fermenter, I fit right in with the culture here at Bened Life (full pun intended). I make my own dairy kefir which I use in my absolute favorite ultra-energizing breakfast. Want the recipe? Send us a message and I'll share it with you!

Along with my husband and work partner, I'm one of Bened's favorite Shakey people! My goal as a Neurodiversity Specialist is to light others from within.

I love how neurodiverse social media has enabled us with the power to connect with everyone in the world with the same shared experiences and fill in gaps that we would not otherwise be able to access.

My pets are lovingly named Lanky Panky and Old Man. They're my gaming buddies! Can you guess their species based off their names?

I love to unwind in nature. I find solace in the simple pleasures of hiking through shaded forests, listening to trickling streams, smelling a smoking campfire, and waking up to chirping birds.

For me, storytelling + the outdoors = life. I love working at Bened Life because I can write while enjoying my favorite natural spaces -- here in Austin, and abroad.

I've given my Corgi Bruce Wayne the nickname Brucifer, and I think he likes it better.

I love snacks. My ultimate snackboard would have lasagna, steak, jerky, charcuterie, cheesecake, and mangoes.

To me, food + music is the magic combo for bringing people together. I am always down to bond over Korean BBQ or a jam session.

My two favorite foods are corn pizza and chole bhature. I would love to share them with you over a lunch break.

I consider myself a foodie. If you want the cheatcode to my heart, it's anything Indian, Turkish, or Italian.

My work title says "writer," but everyone around here knows me as the Autistic Nurse Baddie. All brains deserve supportive acceptance, and you'll never hear the end of it from me! For me, probiotics greatly decreased harmful body-focused repetitive behaviors, and I've made it my goal to share these life-changing benefits with anyone I can reach.
