With a passion for indigenous two-spirit people and a fresh post-pandemic perspective, Beth's post-Canada's Drag Race career is poised for greatness."[4]

Beth is originally from Nelson and lives in Vancouver.[2][5] She has three brothers, including a twin. She uses the pronouns she/her in drag and he/she/they out of drag.[6]
