Beth worked in childcare and education for several years at the start of her career, including work as a behavioral technician, educator at her local zoo, and legal camp counselor.  After spending six years involved in mock trial programs and teaching new students about law, she was inspired to focus her education and career in advocacy.

 She received three associate degrees in the areas of Political Science, Behavioral Studies, and Arts and Humanities from Santa Barbara Community College.  In 2023, Beth received her Bachelor of Arts in Public Service from UC Davis.  After graduating from UC Davis, Beth worked in the agricultural and political sector.  Motivated by her mentor’s talent for invoking change, Beth was encouraged to continue her education in law school.

 Currently, Beth is in her second year at McGeorge School of Law and expects to receive her Juris Doctor in May 2027 with a Public Policy Concentration.  She has found education law to be a meaningful opportunity to reintegrate her love of educating with her experience in advocacy.  She is honored to be able to contribute to the work done at Perry & Villareal, LLP.

 When Beth is not studying or working, she enjoys crocheting, art, and watching ‘90s sitcoms.
