This will be my 21st year in Bedford and most of them have been spent here at WPES! I am incredibly grateful to work at such an extraordinary school. I live in Connecticut with my husband of 23 years, two children, a big black furry creature with paws and the sweetest Coonhound mix. Although I do not live in this community of special families, this school and your children make my commute worth it. I love being a teacher. I thrive on helping children grow confidence, both in school & in themselves, and develop a love of learning. 

This will be my 26th year teaching! All 26 of these years have been at West Patent. WOW! I am incredibly grateful to work at such a special school. I am not only a teacher in the Bedford Central School District, but I live in the district as well. West Patent is my neighborhood school and all 3 of my children have had outstanding learning experiences here. Being a part of your child’s educational experience is a responsibility and honor I take very seriously. I love being a teacher. I adore children. I love learning with and from my students. 

This is my 21st year at West Patent, and almost my 30th year teaching. I taught second grade for 15 years, first in the Chicago Public Schools and then here in Bedford. I have been teaching third grade for over ten years. I absolutely love what I do and feel so fortunate to be able to teach at such a special school.
