Bethany was born and raised in Wisconsin. (No, she didn't ride a cow to school but yes, cheese is incredibly important to her.) She received her BA in Theatre Arts from the University of Minnesota. In a desperate attempt to escape her post-college soul-destroying banking job, Bethany submitted her headshot and acting resume to her local radio station in Minneapolis, 101.3 KDWB. Even though she lacked any radio experience whatsoever, Bethany's extensive training in improv helped her land the job and she ended up co-hosting The Dave Ryan in the Morning Show for four years (as "Lena Svenson." It's a long Scandinavian story...). Bethany then got the incredible opportunity to move to NYC to co-host the nationally syndicated Elvis Duran & the Morning Show, which she did until February 2018. Bethany can be seen in the horror/comedy short film "Lonely Hearts" as well as "Pet Peeved," the web series from Writers Guild Award Winner Daryn Strauss. Her horror short "Doors" is currently on the festival circuit. When she’s not acting, writing, or working on producing new projects, Bethany enjoys aerial silks and renovating old furniture. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her boyfriend (director/photographer/cinematographer Dennis Cahlo). She loves coffee so much.
