Kris Rish Promotes to Moose Lake Warden

By Kristin Lueken

Please join us in welcoming and congratulating Kristin (Kris) Rish, who has accepted the Warden position at Moose Lake.

Kris came to the department after graduating from UMD with bachelor's degrees in both criminology and Sociology. She was first hired at MCF-Lino Lakes as a corrections officer in 1994 and transferred to Moose Lake in 1995. She has also held positions as a case manager, CPD, OSI (specializing in death investigations), AWA, and most recently as AWO since 2017.

Kris has been involved in numerous committees and initiatives in her 30-year career and is a firm believer in the philosophy of servant leadership; she plans to implement the practice wherever possible and practical at Moose Lake.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and staying active. She is looking forward to serving MCF-Moose Lake as Warden and continuing the strong legacy it has in maintaining staff safety and transforming lives.

Congratulations Warden Rish!
