Beda is originally from Southern California, but moved to Oregon permanently 6 years ago. After several years of work with ODFW and Native Klamath tribes within the fisheries department and restoration projects in Oregon, Beda now works as a part time cattle rancher with her husband as well as a CSR here at COAH. Beda loves to spend her free time reading, hanging out with her cows on sunny days and spending time with Lulu, her goose.
