This will be my third year at WPES, but it is my 24th year in Bedford Central and my 28th year teaching! For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a teacher. Every year brings new students, joys, challenges and opportunities to grow. My favorite subjects have always been math and science. I love anything associated with nature! Being outdoors brings my family and I much happiness, especially being on the water. The best part about teaching is seeing the world through different eyes, and build a community where all of those differences are accepted, embraced and viewed as something we can all learn from. My goal is to be one step in the grand journey of developing confident, fun loving, problem solving, positive members of our community.
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.
This is my 28th year of teaching. I have returned to West Patent and I am so happy to be back with familiar and new faces, alike! We have a wonderful school community! I love working for Bedford CSD and proudly also reside in-district. My family and I live with our two adorable pups, Teddy and Indiana Jones. If you see me around town, please be sure to say hello! I have many Interests, but I am most passionate about children.
This is my nineteenth year as a teacher of Special Education, and my tenth at West Patent Elementary School. I began my teaching career in Raleigh, North Carolina. My vision as a special educator, is to develop well rounded, confident and responsible individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential. My team and I do this by providing a welcoming, happy, safe, and supportive learning environment in which everyone is equal and all achievements are celebrated. West Patent is an incredible school, I feel so fortunate and grateful to be a part of this school community. My husband and I are very proud parents of two wonderful children and to our 3 dogs!
