Bethany

Our daughter Bethany graduated from Texas A&M at age 20 with a degree in biology, having spent her senior year teaching supplemental instruction classes in one of her all-time favorite subjects: organic chemistry.

She then spent six months teaching biology labs at the local junior college, and another six months working at schools for the blind and mentally handicapped in South Asia, where her students collectively stole her heart.

As much as she would like to have stayed overseas, she took her father’s advice, returning to the States to study dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. She and her brother David were the only sibling pair in the school’s history to have ever graduated in the same class. After graduating in 2016, Bethany moved back to Tyler where she now works as a pediatric dentist.

Beth is good at what she does and enjoys it immensely (especially oral surgery). In her spare time, she loves doing art projects, traveling the globe, and spending as much time as she can with her nieces and nephews.
