Hello! This is my 8th year teaching 1st grade at Westlawn. I love traveling, party planning, and spending time with my dog, Boba! Please contact me if you have any questions.

Hello! I am Pat Cardenas. I joined the Westlawn ESOL team in 2016. I primarily work with the first grade team collaborating with other teachers. I have been an ESOL teacher for over 20 years and have worked at 3 other schools prior to Westlawn.  Westlawn is by far my favorite school! It is a warm, engaging, inclusive environment in which all staff help one another and focus on our students. I enjoy swimming, gardening, working out and being outdoors!

I joined Westlawn Elementary in 2021. I have been an ESOL teacher as well as a classroom teacher in the U.S. and Colombia for over 20 years. I love working with language learners because I believe we are global citizens and as such, we should be able to communicate with as many people as we can so we can all grow and learn from each other. Westlawn is a very special community and I feel honored to be part of it. I enjoy traveling and discovering new places all over the world.
