I am in my sixth year as the principal of Cuyuna Range Elementary School in Crosby, MN. I spent fifteen years as an elementary classroom teacher and five years as a director of curriculum and assessment prior to joining the CRES team. I am driven by the belief that students deserve the very best from their schools each and every day. A renewed focus on skills in areas such as technology, collaboration, and creativity, along with the traditional core content areas, is the key to transforming our schools into schools our students deserve.
