Family is everything for Teresa.  Married for more than three decades, she’s raised two children into adulthood, beamed with pride as they started families of their own, and now gets to soak up the joy of two grandchildren, with another little one on the way!  Her household MVP is Fender, her 17-year-old shih tzu who still struts around like he owns the block and can sniff out a strawberry from a mile away.

When she’s not at the office, you’ll find her with friends and family gathered around a BBQ pit, swapping stories, making music, and singing along to the country songs she loves. She’s got her eye on learning the banjo, too.  Because for her, life’s about adding strings, not cutting them.

Teresa’s story is proof that roots, loyalty, and a little twang can carry you through anything, exactly the kind of steady, big-hearted presence that belongs on a team built to fight for the underdog.
