Retiring at forty, Teresa returned to college. She learned even more and graduated with a Master's from the University of Iowa. She then taught, helping mostly college-age people to know how to care for those with health challenges. Her own early teaching helps Teresa to have a positive outlook on life, which she continues. She and her assistant live and work in Iowa.view less
