She worked in Student Services at the University of Wisconsin—Stout, administering services to students with disabilities and to the multicultural students, including advising the Black Student Union and the Hmong Stout Student Organization. She was a founding member of the Greenwood Players, a children’s theater company, and used her experience to create and tour plays with her students about their experiences to schools in western Wisconsin. Recently she volunteered as a Creative Writing teacher at the Dunn County Jail. This is her first book.
Since tying her shoes in Gstaad, Beth has found a number of other places for this small task that give the same satisfaction. She has been fortunate to return to and live in Europe a number of times. She also lived in western Montana, where she taught history and college writing courses. In 2001, she returned to the Midwest, and she presently lives in Iowa City, Iowa, with her husband, Raymond. She taught at a local community college for a number of years. In addition to the first collaborative book effort, she serves on the board for a local school fund raiser, Run for the Schools. To stay active, she takes boxing lessons.view less
