Tera was born and raised in Maryland Heights where she graduated from Pattonville High School. Immediately following high school, Tera became the office manager of local family owned and operated construction company. After spending more than ten years in the construction industry, Tera left the work force to become a stay-at-home mom. Now a mother to four children of her own and two step-children, she resides in St. Charles with her husband Jeff.

Tera spends most of her free time on a soccer or baseball field, in an ice rink or on a basketball court with her children, but when she's not there, she enjoys movies, books, playing softball, hanging out with friends and traveling.

Tera is excited to take on the challenge of finding fun and exciting events around town for Patch.
