Teresa is originally from Williamsburg, VA and grew up crabbing and fishing with her dad all along the James River. You could also find her in costume, interpreting in Colonial Williamsburg starting at 6 years old. She has worked and volunteered with the public in hospitality and administration in a variety of roles, including a foundry and brickyard interpreter, a kayak tour guide and Office Manager. After stints in the Outer Banks, Northern CA, Upstate NY and Boston, she has settled in Newport to be by the ocean while enjoying the Colonial architecture of her youth.

An English Major, you will often find her face in a book. She is also a home chef, yogi, an avid traveler and a very amateur gardener. She lives in Historic Hill with her beloved Pekingese and husband.
