She graduated from Northwestern University with a background in English and African American Studies, with a heavy emphasis on Sociology and Political Science. While at her previous job, she honed her public relations, business and administrative skills and used them to gain further exposure for her previous employer. She now has the opportunity to put her years of experience and training to work for NCPTF/PTF.

Bethany enjoys working with teens and was actively engaged in the YMCA's Black Achievers Program in Milwaukee, where she mentored and did community service. She was also a youth group leader in her church, Wauwatosa Bible Chapel, in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, working with church teens, helping them grow in their faith while ministering to and serving the community.

Bethany is passionate about social justice, politics, international law, civil rights and religious freedom/tolerance. She uses these passions to the benefit of NCPTF. In fact, this passion led her to NCPTF.
