Ms. Krueger graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in paralegal studies from Winona State University. After working at a large Minneapolis law firm for 8 years as a litigation paralegal, she then went on to earn her Juris Doctor from William Mitchell College of Law, graduating cum laude.
