With a deep-rooted passion for helping those in need, Theresa has worked tirelessly on various initiatives, from disaster relief in the wake of Superstorm Sandy to support for other disaster ridden states like Louisiana, North Carolina and Florida. She organized and executed relief drives to get each state much needed relief and supplies. Driven by compassion and resilience, Theresa has collaborated with countless organizations, local communities, and government agencies to address pressing issues such as poverty, inequality, and access to essential services. With a background in Disaster Case Management, Theresa combines expertise with empathy, ensuring that every project not only meets immediate needs but also promotes sustainable growth and self-sufficiency. Theresa inspires others to join in the mission of making the world a more compassionate place."
