Beyond film and television, Bethany's stage presence earned her a 2020 Jessie Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in the play Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar. Her deep connection to the performing arts is rooted in her musical background; she began studying classical music at the age of three and, by nine, was a multi-award-winning professional violinist. A versatile musician, Bethany plays multiple instruments and has lent her singing talents to various projects. In 2021, her children's music project The Treebees amassed over 10 million views per episode on YouTube, earning Grammy and Juno nominations and further showcasing her artistic range.
Originally from Burnaby, BC, Bethany was raised on a 100-acre farm in the Okanagan, where she spent her early years milking cows, collecting eggs, riding horses, and churning butter. She moved to Vancouver at 17 to play collegiate soccer in the NAIA for Simon Fraser University but returned to the arts after a foot injury ended her athletic career. Bethany's journey from the classical stage to the screen has made her a multi-talented force in the industry, and she is poised for even greater accomplishments ahead
