Throughout her 11-year nursing career, she's remained committed to continuous learning. She'll continue to stay up to date with evidence-based practices in wound and ostomy care, so she provides care that improves your function, comfort and quality of life.

In the winter, Teri enjoys slowing down and reading a good book. During the summer, she enjoys being outside tending to her garden or going on adventures with her family.
