Betsy's Story
Life
After living in Chicago, Seattle, and Austin, I've settled in Champaign, Illinois and love my life. How nice not be stuck in traffic all the time.
I have a partner and two dogs (better than children any time!).
School
...can't say I have any happy memories from high school...I just wanted to get out of there.
Workplace
I work at the U of I, coordinating a freshman orientation program that uses theatre followed by small group discussions to talk about the campus drinking culture. ...Expand for more
I also teach a course that trains the peer discussion facilitators for the program. It's a great fit for me -- I get to use my creative (theatre), communication, and organizational skills.
But I've had lots of jobs along the way: my own interior decorating business, ran a non-profit Buddhist organization in Seattle, my own pet-sitting business, college theatre and speech communications instructor, waited tables at many restaurants, administrative assistant at a real-estate development firm, etc!
