Bethany moved to the Netherlands on the DAFT visa in December 2022, where she met her Dutch partner, Robin. (She is now on a partnership visa, FWIW.) They live in a beautiful, green part of Amsterdam, a block or two from a metro, a giant park/nature preserve, two playgrounds, and a grocery store. She is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, and is a queer foodie who loves cooking, travel, and karaoke.
Before relocating to the Netherlands, she worked for a union on legislation and corporate campaigns, working on everything from the Affordable Care Act to immigration reform to private equity firm engagement. She was the founding Chief Operating Officer at media company Rediscovering Our American Dream, and is a member of Mensa (or as she calls it, “brunch with smart people.”).
