Teresa has looked after the patients and family at Children's for more than 35 years. Children's has evolved during that time from a place of employment to a place she now considers her second home. Teresa volunteered at Egleston early in her career while her friend's daughter was receiving cancer treatment there. She immediately decided that she would like to work for Children's one day.

In 1987, Teresa followed her calling and began working with the hematology/oncology group at Egleston. She then assumed a new position at our Satellite Boulevard urgent care. Children of the staff members, including Teresa's daughter Kelsey, were invited to the center's opening to place their handprints on the concrete. Kelsey was instantly certain that she would one day want to work at Children's.

In the present, you can find this mother-daughter team living their purpose in our hallways.
