Teresa is a Michigan native, where she got to hear all the great classic bands. After receiving her Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Cleary University in Michigan, she enjoyed a 20+ year career in the medical field as a diagnostic medical sonographer.

She worked at the University of Michigan Hospital and later as an Applications Specialist for Toshiba Medical Ultrasound Company, where she traveled and taught fellow sonographers and physicians ultrasound physics and proper ultrasound techniques to optimize medical imaging. She has also published medical articles in the field of ultrasound. Teresa has always had an interest in investment and money management. Most recently, she worked in accounting while taking college courses to augment her knowledge and is still fascinated by the subject. Teresa has lived in Columbia since 2004 and has discovered the many beautiful rivers that Missouri has to offer. (Except that Thanksgiving Day when she took an unintentional swim in the Jacks Fork River, but it is all part of the adventure!) When not at work you can most likely find Teresa with her partner-in-crime, Sasha, her Yorkie! Teresa enjoys being active and has participated in many marathons and triathlons in Florida, Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, and Arizona. She loves the challenge of decorating for themed parties, is a dab hand at many crafts and artistic endeavors, and has fun on road trips to investigate Missouri’s numerous wineries.
