Bio
Bettina Byrd-Giles is a leading expert in intercultural communication, community placemaking, cultural arts advocacy, and storytelling. A dynamic speaker and facilitator, she brings nearly two decades of experience as a higher education administrator at Research I universities, where she challenged traditional paradigms of healthcare institutions and their role in improving community quality of life. Bettina launched a movement to revitalize a small industrial community by strengthening stakeholder capacity, elevating cultural arts, and reshaping public perception through both social and traditional media. She earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Virginia, a Master of Arts in Education from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and holds certificates from the Intercultural Communication Institute.
