Beck owns and manages a travel consulting business. She has been a long time advocate for children with disabilities, education, health care accessability and human services for disadvantaged individuals. In the late 1980s, she cofounded two disabilities programs. Parent to Parent of Utah helped families with developmentally disabled children. Parent to Professional of Utah addressed the needs of physicians, state personnel and others who work with these families.
Her advocacy efforts have led to appointments to state boards and commissions. She is vice chair of the Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool board and represents consumers on that board. She represented parental issues on the Governor's Council for People with Disabilities, where she was awarded a master's advocacy degree. As a member of the Interagency Coordinating Council for Children with Developmental Disabilities, she helped to draft federal and state legislation on early intervention.
She has served in a number of other community boards, including the Parent Teacher Association and the Child Protection Team and Children's Center at Primary Children's Medical Center. She has been recognized by Woman's World magazine as a Woman of Courage Making a Difference."
Beck attended Brigham Young University and University of Utah. She is married to Ron Beck and they are the parents of six children.
