Teresa grew up on Vancouver Island spending her childhood growing up on beautiful Gabriola Island, before moving to Victoria to attend Camosun College to obtain her BBA with an Accounting Major. During her time in Victoria, she worked in various accounting positions, including Bank Reconciliation Supervisor for Custom House Currency and Senior Property Accountant with Colliers International.
She obtained her CPA, CGA in 2015, and at this point returned to Nanaimo and became employed by the Hazelwood Group of Companies in 2016. Her primary focus has been on Hazelwood’s heavy civil construction company Hazelwood Construction Services Inc.
Teresa is an animal lover and an avid reader of Crime and Mystery novels, as well as enjoying all the beauty that living on the Island has to offer. Teresa was drawn to HFHMVI because of a desire to find a way to make a difference in her community. In addition, the idea of providing a safe and secure home in which children can grow up was particularly appealing.
