Hello and welcome, friends! I hope you are having a wonderful day so far.

Here is some information about me which I hope will be helpful to you:

A career teacher, Dr. Joani Bedore has taught over 7,000 students nationwide in over 300 college courses. In 2008-2009, she was rated one of the Top 25 Professors in the United States by www.ratemyprofessors.com. She has won numerous teaching awards, and has been a professional speaker with the National Speakers Association. She is excited about working with you at Saint Petersburg College.

Dr. Bedore brings to your class a strong desire to help you succeed not only in this course, but also in your college career and your LIFE. What brings her the greatest JOY is when you discover your unique talents and strengths and act on them.

Dr. Bedore is an natural storyteller, teacher, and prankster. She teaches with homespun humor, dozens of "signature stories," and her quirky, original student activities guaranteed to help you clam down on stage. She teaches because she loves it.

To Dr. Bedore, working with college students is just about the coolest job in the world. :)
