A military brat, Theresa grew up in a variety of environments. Those experiences taught her how important it is to be kind, how much of a difference it can make to ensure folks feel included, and the value of a service mindset. She lives with her Husband, two daughters, and three pups in Long Beach, CA, and enjoys spending her free time traveling or by the ocean.
