Commentary Series/Reporter
Betty, long-time Weathersfield resident, was and still is VPR’s first full-time employee, hired in 1976 to handle a variety of administrative aspects. Once the station began broadcasting in 1977, she also served as an on-air host.

Comfortable both on-air and behind the scenes, Betty produces the VPR commentary series and reports on cultural events across the region. She’s based in VPR’s Norwich studio. Prior to joining VPR, Betty was a local AM radio personality and actress.
