Beth Pauvlinch was born and raised in a small town near Pittsburgh, where she developed a passion for poetry and visual arts from a young age. She started her career at a national engineering firm, quickly rising to an executive position. This led her to founding her own national litigation consulting company. While highly successful, the demanding work took a toll. She scaled back to focus on her artistic pursuits, such as photography, painting and spray painting. Her "Child's Play" collection exploring children's perspectives of 9/11 was exhibited at a Florida museum. She remains ambitious and motivated to take on new challenges.
