Meet the Real Teresa

More than anything, Teresa loves spending time with friends and family. There are not many weekends she goes without seeing at least one family member or a friend. She is the oldest of 4 siblings and the only girl, which was meant she was the boss growing up until one day…she became the little sister of brothers who are all over 6 feet tall.

Growing up in sunny San Diego, you would think that she would be a beach girl, but her true passion growing up was gymnastics. She competed for 10 years, and at the age of 16 she transitioned to coaching which is where she found her next passion. Teresa gets joy from seeing others grow in the sport and finding new ways to help those gain their skills for the next level. When Teresa stopped competing, she moved on to cheerleading. It was here that Teresa learned the value of working with a team and it eventually lead to her receiving a scholarship to compete at a small school in Iowa, Waldorf College.

In her free time these days, you’ll find Teresa traveling to different points in the US to visit friends or go on a new adventure. She loves to continue to occasionally sub in as a teacher for some gymnastics classes at the local YMCA and “attempt” to keep up some of her skills.
