     Dr. Beth Parks is a writer and photographer whose works have appeared in newspapers and magazines, as well as on national television. She traveled extensively and visited all seven continents, dozens of countries and all fifty United States.
     Beth enjoyed successful careers as a University of Maine Cooperative Extension educator and professor, wildlife biologist, researcher, public information specialist, and registered nurse. She served in operating rooms in MASH and evacuation hospitals in Vietnam. She also served at the 2nd General Hospital in Germany, now called the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC). It is currently the largest US military hospital outside the continental United States and the nearest treatment center for wounded soldiers coming from Iraq and Afghanistan.
     Beth produced a powerful film called A Chunk of My Soul, which combines her still photographs with live-action footage to help viewers understand the nurses' experience in the Vietnam War. She is pleased to show the film in educational settings.

      In working with youth, Beth integrated research-based education, hands-on learning and community resources to help young people develop the skills they needed to become responsible, productive citizens and leaders.

     Beth lives on a tiny island on the Down East Maine coast. She shares her life with family, friends and the wild critters she loves to photograph.
