Bethany grew up in Faribault, Minnesota. Right out of high school she traveled with NET Ministries (a Catholic retreat ministry for middle and high school youth). While on the road with NET she heard about the University of Mary, and the Catholic community in Bismarck. She decided to attend UMary and graduated with a Bachelor's in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. After graduating, she taught for 2 years in PreK 4/5 and 3 years in first grade. She loves teaching and is excited to venture into the Montessori world!
She lives in Bismarck with her husband (Austin), their daughter (Lydia), and dog (Nala). In her spare time, you will find her enjoying the sunshine outside with her husband, playing on the ground with her daughter, or comfortably hanging in her hammock with a good book (historical fiction is her favorite) and an iced coffee.
