A life long frequenter of Minneapolis co-ops, Cassandra is a regular shopper at the Franklin store. She supports our co-op over alternatives because of the co-op’s Ends Statement and the social and environmental values the co-op promotes.

As an undergraduate, Cassandra double-majored in civil engineering with an environmental focus and American Indian studies with a Dakota language focus. She attended graduate school for sustainable design and currently works as an engineer. She has also worked in immersion settings with preschoolers to grandparents learning about different topics while immersed in Dakota. Whether discussing gardening, eating, or composting, food is always a great unifier.
