In 2019, Beth completed her Masters, ‘MSc Inclusive Education’, after receiving a scholarship from the University of Edinburgh. This followed a First Class degree from the University of Cumbria, ‘BA(Hons) with QTS, Primary Education with Inclusion/ SEN’. During her ceremony she was given recognition for her talents, hard work and achievement.

During the pandemic, Beth wrote a collection of inclusive-education short stories and developed a YouTube channel, providing story time and activities to enjoy with children. In April 2023, aged 27, Beth became the Chief Executive Officer of Feeling Strong, Dundee’s youth mental health charity, which is designed, delivered and run by young people, for young people. After guiding the charity through a period of transition, she can be credited with creating a culture of trust, creativity, skill and opportunity. Beth has inspired staff, volunteers and trustees, and enacted their 2023–26 Strategy, building strong relationships and partnerships across the third-sector, while providing young people with a café, nightly activities, peer coaching and listening, and workshops. This work has been recognised recently by three nominations: SCVO Scottish Charity Awards, Developing the Young Workforce Tay Cities Awards and the ALLIANCE Self-Management Awards.

In 2022, she worked with BBC Children in Need alongside a young person she supported, with both appearing on the ‘Great SPOTacular Appeal Night’. The same year, she supported a young person in delivering a session for the RCPCH Liverpool Conference to 1300 delegates, alongside The Children and Young People’s Commissioner. Beth was selected to present a session at The NHS Scotland Event 2022, communicating the programmes she delivered supporting children living with health conditions. Beth was also published through a casestory for ‘Play and Health in Childhood: A Rights-based Approach’, and appears on the ALLIANCE Podcast ‘How does play support children and young people’s wellbeing?’
