When Teresa walked in the door at Byron Center Manor, it felt very welcoming with a family-type atmosphere. That was what she was interested in rather than the corporate production line standards. She has over twenty years of experience in the health care field as a CNA in many different settings, ranging from nursing home care, home health care, physical rehab and hospital care. She has experience assisting training CNA classes as well as working as a preceptor guiding new employees at Spectrum Health. Helping people is part of who Teresa has always been. Once she started in this field, she just couldn’t seem to walk away from it.

Teresa has three children: Samantha (30), Nathan (27), and Tyler (17). She has two grandchildren: Aspyn (7) and Asher (4). Plus, she has two Dalmatian babies Bella (4) and Harley (3 1/2).  Teresa’s hometown is Midland, MI and graduated from Midland High School. Since her family is busy most of the time, when they do get together they enjoy sitting around talking and catching up on everything and just being together.
