Hello Everyone! My name is Niharika Bedi. I live with my husband and 10-year-old son in Aurora. I have a master's degree in science and a bachelor’s in elementary and secondary education from National Louis University. This is my fifth year in the field of education. My recent experience was at  Ellsworth Elementary School in district 203 in the year 2020 as a Permanent Building Substitute. I worked in this position for a year before moving to Instructional Assistant (grade 3-5) role in 2021-2022. Before Ellsworth, I taught high school science at York High School in Elmhurst. I love working with the elementary age group which drove me to change my job from a high school setting to an elementary. In my free time I like to read, bike, watch TV and spend time with my family. I am very excited to become part of Annunciation School this year as a fourth-grade teacher.
