OCCUPATION: Owner of Pilates by Beth at Little Harbor Wellness Center on Doaks Lane.
BACKSTORY: I’ve always been involved in fitness. I’ve run five marathons. In NYC (where I was in the financial business), I taught aerobics. Then about 15 years ago I had a back issue and I started doing Pilates and realized its value. When I retired from my financial gig, I got Pilates-certified and got involved in teaching both group instruction and privates.
LISTENING: I listen to country and the Top 40… I’m a country girl at heart.
WATCHING: General Hospital (on ABC), every day from 2-3 p.m. — you know where to find me!
READING: “The Cairo Trilogy”(by Naguib Mahfouz) because we are taking a trip to Egypt this summer. The book is historical fiction.
SOMETHING PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU OR YOUR BUSINESS: I was an interbank money market broker on Wall Street.
WHAT YOU ENJOY ABOUT MARBLEHEAD: The welcoming community.
