In the early 1990’s, Teresa moved to Kansas City, MO, and held many different positions. She completed her bachelor’s degree in Human Resources from MidAmerica Nazarene University and her Master’s Degree in Biblical Counseling from Calvary University, both in Kansas City.

Teresa accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior in the early 1990’s, and He was her anchor and light for the rest of her life.

Teresa permeated herself in God’s Word so that His Word flowed from her heart to others.
