Bethlehem, also known as Betty, is an American who was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She earned her first degree from Addis Ababa University in Statistics, minoring in Computer Science. Her master's degree is in Software Engineering from North Dakota State University. She works as a Software Engineering Manager.
By writing from her roots, with her first book The Alphabet takes a Journey: Destination Ethiopia, Betty wishes to share with children her great memories of growing up in Ethiopia and to spark their curious minds of the world at large.
Growing up with limited resources, access to children's books was a rare event. So Bethlehem understands very well the transformational power of books.
Betty's greatest joy is seeing books in the hands of children. As a member of a non-profit organization called Ethiopia Reads, she is able to help achieve the goal of connecting children with books, cultivating minds for stronger tomorrow.
Bethlehem is a member of the American Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). She currently lives in Fargo, North Dakota with her husband and three sons.
