Betsy sang for many years with both the Austin Lyric and the Fort Worth Opera Companies in Texas. In California, she worked with Golden Gate Opera in the production of Carmen. She was chosen among hundreds of contestants to sing The National Anthem at a San Francisco 49ers game. She most recently worked in the Morris Brobow productions of Megabytes the Musical and Are We Almost There? -The Travel Musical. She is currently a choral section leader at St. John's Episcopal Church, Ross, CA.
