Commercially, she has appeared in campaigns for brands like FabFitFun, Olaplex, and Rise of Kingdoms.
A graduate of Northwestern University, Betsy is known for bringing unexpected depth and honesty to characters often dismissed as naive, ditzy, or weak—while still delivering sharp comedic timing and fearless performances.

Betsy originated the role of Emily Sue in October Sky, performing in the original workshops, the world premiere at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, IL, the West Coast premiere at the Old Globe in San Diego, and the Broadway lab.A graduate of Northwestern University, Betsy is known for bringing unexpected depth and honesty to characters often dismissed as naive, ditzy, or weak—while still delivering sharp comedic timing and fearless performances.

Born and raised in Sioux City, Iowa, Betsy fell in love with performing when she played her very first role as an unnamed-boy in The Music Man in second grade (please see fierce bowl cut). She is a certified Pilates instructor, a double-Leo with a Taurus moon, cool aunt to six adorable nieces and nephews, wife to her wonderful husband, Alex, and hopes to someday weasel her way into being a sports commentator for ESPN, representing the doesn't-known-anything-about-sports-but-loves-the-vibes community. She is insufferable around dogs and can do a pretty decent impression of Butters from South Park.
