Bethany was subsequently accepted into the doctoral program in clinical psychology at Yale University, where she worked under the mentorship of Sheila Woody.[1][4] During her time at Yale, Bethany met her future spouse, Brian Nosek, who was also pursuing a doctoral degree at the institution in the field of social psychology.[1]
