Teresa has worked as a writer and a ceramic artist since 2023. Prior to writing and pottery, Teresa was a financial analyst, managing billions of dollars for medical and real estate companies. If you are wondering how she went from that to her current two career paths, she wrote about it in a funnyish book that she aims to publish soon. She is also in the process of getting her pottery business launched. You can find her on Instagram @Teresaandtheworld or jump over to @YoungOakCeramics to see her pottery.

In terms of formal education, she has an MBA with a specialization in leadership from Seattle University, and a BA from the University of Washington, where she studied history, international studies: comparative religion, and comparative history of ideas.

She lives in Sammamish, Washington with her daughter, husband, and dog. She is allergic to many things, including dogs. She escapes death on the reg and is grateful for the life she gets to live and write about every day.

She works under a pen name for the privacy of her family.
