Her column “Teachable Moments” is featured in Catholic Digest magazine, and she appears each week on EWTN Radio’s Son Rise Morning Show with Matt Swaim. For nine years, she was a weekly culture columnist for the The Washington Times.

Marybeth began her career as a writer in the Reagan White House, and later was a communications specialist in the educational, healthcare and corporate sectors. A graduate of Michigan State University, she serves on the advisory board of the Parents Television Council, an organization seeking to promote decency on the airwaves.
