Beverly is a Durham native. (Yes, one of the few!) After graduating from Appalachian State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education, Beverly spent 11 years at Chestnut Ridge Camp and Retreat Center where she worked on a team to make the love of Christ visible through hospitality, responsible care for the earth, and meaningful fellowship to strengthen the community. As the Associate Director, Beverly hired and trained summer staff as she worked to create spaces where campers and staff felt safe, loved, and accepted. In her free time, Beverly loves to run, hike, camp, explore new places, and eat ice cream with her husband, Tyler, and daughter, Eleanor.
