Teresa is deeply passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. She is the founder of the Lighthouse Initiative, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide resources and mentorship to first-generation, low-income, and minority individuals to succeed in college. Moreover, she is a past AAUW Funds Fellow and a helicopter pilot!
