Bethany is a junior at the University of San Francisco. In spring 2011 she will receive a bachelors degree in Biology with minors in Fine Arts, Neuroscience, and Chemistry. Her home base is in a small town in Massachusetts about one mile from the start of the Boston Marathon and will be relocating to forty acres of untouched nature in New Hampshire very soon.

If asked when she was three years old, Bethany would have told you she was going to be a cat when she grew up (because her mother told her she could be anything she wanted). Soon after realizing the limitations of biology, Bethany settled on wanting to work with cats and wildlife instead of actually becoming one herself. Bethany has spent one summer working as a conservation educator at Earth Ltd. (an organization stationed at Southwick's Zoo in Mendon MA) and two summers volunteering as a primate zookeeper. She has experience working with a variety of animals ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees and hopes that a career in wildlife awaits her in the future.

Bethany's other hobbies include painting, photography, hiking/camping, and spending precious time with her cats Simba and Ghost.
