Beth graduated from Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland, earning a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a Master of Education degree in reading. After graduation, she taught school in Baltimore before the birth of her first child, Tyler. After Tyler was born, Beth left teaching to devote her time to raising her family.
