Before going to Portfolio Center and becoming a writer, Betty supported herself the way someone with a degree in painting typically does – meaning, she had lots of different and sometime rather odd jobs: editor at the Georgia General Assembly, managing editor of Art Papers, assistant for the 20th Century Art Society at the High Museum of Art, library assistant, bar tender, elevator operator, retail clerk, beauty parlor receptionist, and (one of her favorites) Renaissance festival pony ride operator.

In addition to being a writer, Betty is also a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, offering private lessons and group classes at Canine PhD in Decatur.
