Although she doesn’t take class anymore, her love of dance continues by watching and cheering on the dancers to come. When she is not in the office, she enjoys spending time with family, game nights with friends, and binging her favourite shows on Netflix. Tessa got the travel bug after spending the summer in Europe on a work study in 2019 and has a list of places to cross off her list. She loves going to concerts and listening to music.
