Openness October. I'm just human. ?? Do you all already know this about yourselves and I'm just late to the game? ? If so, send me a ?. It was a helpful blow to my ego last year when I learned I couldn't muscle my way through every situation; some situations are just too hard. Sometimes what doesn't kill you DOESN’T make you stronger. Instead, it teaches you. It allows you to confront your humanity and often forces you to be vulnerable to the community of people around you, so they can hold your hand during the storm. It was a powerful lesson and beautiful gift to learn I’m just human ☺️.

Early Life and Education

While Teri was born in the Bay Area, her family moved around a lot during her youth, so she lived in Houston in Texas, Grand Rapids in Michigan, San Diego in California, and before settling in Los Angeles. At a young age she developed a strong passion towards acting, inspired by Katharine Hepburn’s performances.

It is named a Public Ivy meaning that it has educational quality comparable to that of the Ivy League, being ranked as the 37th best internationally by US News & World Report.
