Teresa is a Dementia Care Certified Program Manager for the Alzheimer's Association - Greater Missouri Chapter. In this role, she pursues partnerships to elevate awareness and education of dementia through the wide range of services offered by the Alzheimer's Association.

Having Alzheimer's touch her family twice, left her with a motivation to provide a light to others who find themselves on the journey, especially in rural communities.

Teresa lives in Columbia, Missouri with her husband Jim, and their seasonal flock of hummingbirds.
