"Beth is one of the best facilitators I have had the opportunity to learn from and co-facilitate with. With her kind demeanor, attention to detail, thorough planning, and her capacity to read her audience makes for a great experience whether co-facilitating with her, or participating in one of her many workshops. Additionally, Beth's masterful use and knowledge of the Popular Education methodology, adds to the value of her teachings and ensures everyone's lived experience is taken into account, but more importantly, valued. I will be forever grateful for Beth's willingness to help us learn, and will carry her teachings with me for the rest of my life. Not only do I consider Beth a wonderful facilitator, but also a friend. A true gift to all who get the opportunity to work with her!"
