In her youth she moved with her family to Jacksonville, Florida, where she continued her education and proudly graduated from Andrew Jackson High School.

Theresa dedicated herself to joining the Army National Guard. Her time in the military reflected her strength, discipline, and deep sense of duty. After completing her service, she pursued higher education and graduated from Florida Metropolitan University in Jacksonville, Florida.
