Teresa was very talented when it came to art. She was the President of her class in high school and was awarded the Pennsylvania Governor’s School for the Arts Scholarship based off her work. She was the sole winner for the state out of many applicants.
Teresa earned a degree in graphic design. She worked at the Southeast Missourian, KFVS12, and went on to start up her own graphic design company which she ran over 20 years. She was very hard working and went on to open two other businesses. When Teresa set her mind to something, she always accomplished it and found a way to be successful in everything she did.
She was passionate about traveling, collecting unique antique items, going to wineries, and animals. Teresa found joy in quality time with her father and taking on numerous home remodeling projects with him. You could often find her at an art show, sitting on the patio of her favorite restaurant, or enjoying time with family.
