Beth attended John Abbott's Natural Science Program before moving on to her BSc in Honour's Biochemistry (2000) at McGill. Beth then pursued her PhD in Reproductive Physiology (2006) at the University of Toronto, studying the role of mitochondria in oocyte quality as related to female infertility. During her PhD she worked as a lab technologist in cord blood and assisted reproductive technology labs, as a teaching assistant and volunteered as an Executive Director of the University of Toronto's "Let's Talk Science" student outreach organization. While writing her thesis Beth began her teaching career at SUNY Canton, primarily teaching Introductory Biology and Human Anatomy and Physiology for Nursing students. Beth was recruited back to JAC in 2008 by Sharon Rutherford, who was her General Biology II teacher during her DEC.

Beth is currently the Chair of the Biology Department, and teaches Pathophysiology for Paramedics. She is also interested in educational pedagogy and tech tools to help improve her teaching and to help students develop their transversal skills.
