Introducing 2013 MCBF Author, Bettina Restrepo

How does Bettina say her last name?  Rest (as in take a nap) Repo (like if you take too many naps, they will take away your car).  It doesn’t hurt her feelings if you say it wrong – because she’s just not that picky.

Bettina received her Bachelor of Science in speech communication from the University of Texas at Austin in 1993. She flunked economics her freshman year and decided a business degree wasn’t a good idea.  She found literature and writing were her best fit.  For fun, she played cymbals in the band.

She spent many years in the corporate world being an Internal Auditor and wearing pantyhose (not fun).  She is married, lives near Dallas under the disguise of “Mommy”.
