Hello! My name is Kelyn (pronounced Key-lyn) Gress and I am the Speech-Language Pathologist here at Capitol Hill Gifted and Talented Magnet School. This will be my fifth year at Capitol Hill and I am super excited to be back with this wonderful community of learners and their families! I grew up in St. Paul and I am an alumni of SPPS. During my time here as a student, I attended Expo Elementary, Murray Middle School, and Central High School. It is great to be back as a staff member! I attended the University of Minnesota Duluth for my undergraduate career studying Communication Sciences and Disorders (Go Dogs!). Following graduation, I moved back home and attended the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for my graduate career in Speech-Language Hearing Sciences.
