Bethany (Dr. B.) is a former high school teacher who taught social studies and coached soccer for 14 years in Kettering, OH. She currently enjoys teaching a variety of students through the general methods courses for the AYA program as well as the PreK-12 social studies methods courses. Her research interests and passion revolve around deepening her knowledge about sustainability education and sharing it with others. What Dr. B. loves most about what she does here at Otterbein is her work with students both in and out of the classroom. Outside of Otterbein she enjoys being outdoors, watching sports, going to concerts, reading and spending time with her friends and family. Bethany also volunteers her time with a local community group called Sustainable Westerville.
