Linda earned her BA in chemistry from Colorado College. She then shifted gears and earned a BA in music theory/history from the University of Washington and a MM in music composition from the University of North Dakota. However, she could not ignore chemistry’s call. She taught high school chemistry for fourteen years and earned her masters degree in natural sciences at the University of Northern Colorado. She developed a passion for helping students understand chemistry on a conceptual level.
