MEET TERESA:
I've nearly always had a passion for finance, which began during high school with an elective in investments. We learned the basics of creating and tracking imaginary portfolios, using the Wall Street Journal for information—the actual newspaper! I was fascinated and began paying attention to financial matters that most high schoolers overlook. I earned my bachelor’s of business degree with a major in finance from Wichita State University in 2002.
After college, I pursued a diverse career spanning corporate finance in the aviation sector, real estate assistance, and administrative support at GFG. Throughout, my primary goal has always been to assist others. This ambition led me to pursue a master's in library science from Emporia State University in 2009. For over 15 years since then, I've been guiding community college students to become better researchers and consumers of information.
Following a rewarding library career in higher education, I decided to transition and apply my research and instruction skills in the finance industry. Returning to Gough Financial Group after nearly two decades, I now derive profound fulfillment from helping individuals at various stages of their financial journey. My approach is grounded in meeting people where they are and collaboratively crafting a path forward together.
I'm a Kansas native, having spent most of my life in and around the Wichita area. Since the mid-1990s, I've lived in Andover, Kansas, where my husband Jason and I have raised our two daughters. In my spare time, I enjoy reading both fiction and non-fiction books; I love beach vacations, and I’m not likely to turn down a game night if invited.
