Producer, The Colin McEnroe ShowBetsy began producing for Where We Live and the Colin McEnroe Show in 2011, shortly after obtaining a Master's Degree in American and Museum Studies from Trinity College. She began as an intern.
She was the Senior Producer of the Colin McEnroe Show between 2013-2021, during which time the show received three national awards from the Public Radio News Directors Association (PRNDI), and a 2015 Mental Illness Media Award from the Connecticut Psychiatric Society, the National Alliance on Mental Illness-CT, and the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services for a show titled, “Unlocking the Mysteries of Alzheimer’s Disease.”
Prior to that, Betsy worked as an intensive care registered nurse in several Connecticut hospitals and raised three daughters with her husband, Keith. In 2021, she decided to step down and return to the nursing field. However, she still produces some shows with Colin and the team when her schedule allows.
