Teresa is a multi-generation Colorado native with migrant farmworker parents from the San Luis Valley. Both parents were activists at CU during the Chicano movement and both worked at CU.  Her dad was a Custodian/Security Guard and her mom was a Counselor undertaking inclusivity work at CU for 40 years. Teresa and her partner continue this legacy as alumni and staff at CU.

Teresa's work has focused on advocating for historically underrepresented communities within the nonprofit and educational realm. Since 2006, her campus career has been dedicated to fostering inclusion within Student Affairs and Human Resources.

She specializes in student advocacy and promoting inclusive recruitment practices for staff and faculty. It is important to her that students, staff, faculty, and community members feel heard, respected, and valued to have meaningful experiences while on campus.
