About Me

Hi! My name is Terri and I am a mom of a couple of high energy, sweet and funny kids. I grew up in Southern California and then moved to London at 17 years old for church leadership training program. I loved it in London and stayed for the next 10 years. I met my husband there and went to the University of East London and got my BA in Psychosocial Studies and her Master’s in International Social Work and Community Development Studies. While at University, I worked as a teacher at an Alternative School in London for high risk youth and was also a counselor running a drop in service in a number of local London schools. I worked with LifeLine Network International for several years as Business Development Coordinator, working with international development organizations in over 16 countries. She was Project Manager for all external grants and had wonderful opportunities to visit Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe through that job. When I came back to the USA in 2009, I became a volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for Adams and Broomfield Counties, supporting children who have been abused or neglected. I then became a Social Worker, working in both Intake and Ongoing Services at Arapahoe County Human Services in 2013. In 2015, I began working with the City and County of Denver as an IT Project Manager. This year, I am excited to spend more time at home with my kids getting the opportunity to work with children and young people at Varsity Tutors. I have a passion for learning, helping people discover their full potential and seeing the joy on someone’s face when they have conquered a personal challenge.

Q&A with Terri

I believe that everyone is able to learn, so when a student is struggling, it's about thinking outside the box and finding out how that student best learns. The most important part is not giving up and trying different things until it clicks!
