Bethany Garrison is currently a third year doctoral student in Theological Ethics.  Originally from Goose Creek, SC, she did her undergraduate work at the University of Virginia in Religious Studies, focusing specifically on Bioethics.  She worked in KwaZulu-Natal South Africa in 2003 at an AIDS Hospice for children, and returned to South Africa in 2005 to work with the Southern African Catholic Bishop's Conference in their AIDS Office, working specifically with HIV education programs.  It was largely this experience that compelled her to do graduate work in ethics.  She is a Teaching Assistant this year for Jim Weiss in the Pulse program, and will be taking comps in February.
