Beth was born and raised, an only child, in beautiful Salem, Ohio. She graduated with degrees in English from Ohio Dominican University and The University of Akron, getting her Master's degree as a full time student with a young family. As a grad student at UAkron, she worked in the Career Services Department and there developed an interest in Career Advising and Human Resources. After graduation, her family moved many times - all around the Great Lakes - from Massillon and Dayton, Ohio to Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, Michigan to Indianapolis and, finally, to Jeffersonville, Indiana. That didn't leave a lot of time for professional growth, so learning about and being involved in new communities became a passion for Beth and her family. They learned a great deal from the hidden treasures of their new communities. And spent lots of time camping or driving Bill's 'cool cars' in the summers. Together they gave their energy to Gilda's Club, Grand Rapids; Ronald McDonald House, Girls Scouts of America, Scouts BSA and to their faith communities. Beth recently learned the world of communications and event planning working at Catholic churches in Brownsburg and Jeffersonville. She currently serves on the board at Catalyst Catholic. Lifelong learning is a hallmark of Beth's life especially reading, studying with her woman's group, planning for and traveling the globe. Beth's family includes husband Bill, their adult children Jackie & John, and her Mom Pat who moved to Southern Indiana to live closeby in 2019.
