Olá! I'm Elizebett.
(uh-LEEZ-uh-BEHT) :)
In addition to being a mom and baker, I'm a writer, editor, and instructor. I have a Masters Degree in Public Administration and 12+ years of experience in executive leadership and building collaborative teams.
I'm a huge fan of the Great British Bake-off (GBBO) television show, and I've completed all signature challenges in the show’s 13 seasons. I love that baking is the intersection of science, history, culture, connection, constantly learning--and great food, of course!
In 2020, BettBakes was born and now offers classes, books, recipe coaching, and virtual team-building events---all fueled by a curiosity for baking and adoration for my Azorean heritage and the Portuguese language. I hope to share a bit of the BettBakes spirit with you!
