If you were to ask Amy Mulry what she does for a living,
she would enthusiastically say "I'm a teacher!".
After 19 years of teaching in Minneapolis Public Schools,
Amy is at heart and will always be a teacher. While teaching in Minneapolis, Amy was lucky enough to join a select group of exemplary teachers to receive extensive training in
classroom management. This led her to eventually leave the classroom to share her experiences with other teachers.
Amy joined a private consulting firm and spent
the next three years training thousands of teachers in
all aspects of successful classroom management.
Amy eventually moved from the Twin Cities to Northern Minnesota and started her own firm, Trident Educational Consultants.
Trident provides schools throughout Northern Minnesota
with proven strategies for creating healthy and productive
classrooms. Trident's unique staff training program unlocks the potential for teachers and administrators to connect with students
in new and meaningful ways, both in person, and virtually. Trident training produces energized teachers, effective administrators and most importantly, happy and engaged students! As a founding member of the Lakewoods Educational Consultants team, Amy looks
forward to engaging with teachers in new
and creative ways, both in person and online.
Amy graduated from Concordia College in St. Paul and received her MEd from The University of Minnesota. She lives with her family in the picturesque small town of Fosston.

She would like to be off the grid but loves Pinterest, Instagram, and streaming TV too much. Her passion in education is the joy created by people having growth in creativity and completing their goals.
