She did some Little Theater in Los Angeles, eons ago. - She has been immersed in jargon and maverick experiences from the medical, higher education, media, governmental committee, and nonprofit worlds. She is a widow, mother, grandmother, inveterate nonprofit/government Board member, dog owner, and helpful person. Mary Beth moved to the Los Angeles area for college and stayed. She lived in suburban LA, then hung out in Malibu for twenty years. She recently moved to Carlsbad, California, with her newest dog buddy, Bogart, where she built a house with a recording studio.
