She created, wrote, directed, and starred in the viral web series JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT EXECS; an inside-baseball portrayal of young, female, film executives. Bette helped start the YouTube channel JASH for Reggie Watts, Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, and Tim & Eric. She also created, directed, and starred in a musical series with Reggie Watts about selling instruments on Craigslist. Alongside Dave McCary, Bette co-wrote and co-directed the woman-on-the-street show ON THE STREET WITH KATE B for powerhouse Kate Berlant.

Currently, she is hard at work developing an animated show, which recently secured a shopping agreement. Her best credits, though, are her 2 beautiful babies - her daughter Josephine who is ready to fly to the moon, and her son Lucky who has 3 delicious rolls on his thighs. Becoming a mom only strengthened her resolve to write and create. She started the hashtag #takeachanceonmoms and really you should.
