Interesting tidbits about Betsy
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What did your parents want you to be?

What strengths or unique talents do you bring to IN?
I am very detailed-oriented and make sure that I stay ahead of schedule. Working as a team and bringing ideas to the table is also a strength of mine.

If you had to eat the same food/meal everyday for the rest of your life what would it be?
Brats, with tons of ketchup and some mayo.

What music are you IN to?
Ingrid Michaelson, Passion Pit, Tom Petty, Bon Iver, Noah and the Whale, MGMT, Queen, Ben Lee and Smashing Pumpkins are just a few that have been playing on my iPod recently.

What’s the funniest situation you’ve ever been IN?
One time I thought I was doing my best friend a favor by bringing in her cat that I chased for a couple blocks. It turns out her cat wasn’t missing and I brought in a stray.

If you could be a superhero, what would you want your superpowers to be?
Be able to be at two places at once.
