A Chicago native, Mary Beth got the acting bug at an early age. Her role as Winnie the Pooh in a Chicago Park District production sealed the deal for her and she never looked back. She attended St. Scholastica Academy in Chicago and participated in the theater department there. On a talent scholarship to Northeastern Illinois University she went on to get her B.A. in Speech and Performing Arts. During this time she dipped her toe in the local improv scene securing a spot on a team at I.O. (Improv Olympic) in Chicago.
