Growing up in a military family, Mary Beth moved between Washington and California during her early childhood. After moving to Fort Smith, Arkansas in sixth grade, she proudly began to call Arkansas home. Mary Beth graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Psychology. You could find her cheering for the Razorbacks at every home football game as she played piccolo in the marching band. She then continued at the University of Arkansas for medical school where she served as OBGYN interest group president focused on organizing simulation sessions and pelvic exam training for underclassmen and various outreach activities for women in the Little Rock community. She participated in multiple OBGYN and pediatric research projects, including filming and producing CSurgery short videos. During medical school Mary Beth had a special interest in integrative medicine where she participated in medical culinary classes. Away from the hospital, she is a fiery redhead who enjoys kickboxing, baking pies, shopping at Target, and spending time with family/friends at the beach.
