Linda Riden

Linda originally joined the James Irwin Family as a middle school teacher from 2009-2011. Her military husband was then reassigned to a few different bases and therefore Linda decided to get her master’s in teaching from Liberty University to compliment her bachelor’s in International Business from Cal State Fullerton. When it was time to retire from the USAF, she and her family decided that Colorado Springs was the place to be, and she was very happy to rejoin the James Irwin Family in 2017 at the high school.

After teaching 7 years of World History and 4 years of Photojournalism, she is now enjoying her 3rd year in administration. She loves photography and traveling. Previous careers include working on the Space Station and the B-2 as a data manager and managing a billing company for doctors. High school students are way more fun!
