Hi there! I’m Nikki Kresky, the school counselor here at Barnum Elementary. The 2023-2024 school year will be my 9th year at Barnum Elementary. I am so lucky to get to do this job and work with these students every day!
A little information about my background: I have a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota Duluth (my hometown) as well as my master’s degree in Education specializing in School Counseling from the University of Wisconsin- Superior! I’ve been lucky enough to have had the chance to work with all different levels of school aged children; however, my passion is for elementary age! I love children’s imaginations, resiliency, creativity, and zest for life! It’s contagious! I am thrilled to be here at Barnum Elementary with such a great staff, amazing parents, and fantastic kiddos!
I am also lucky enough to get to bring my awesome furry sidekick Walter with me to school each week. Walter is my six year old, Golden Retriever who is also a Therapy Dog. Walter has been coming to BES for the past 5 years
