Tess currently lives in Duluth, MN, with her son, husband, and two beloved pets: Senna Vienna Isabella and Mrs. Kitty Foreman. Hailing from Southern Wisconsin, she has traveled across the country but considers Duluth to be the best place she has ever called home.

Since relocating to Duluth in 2018, she has actively participated in various local organizations, including the Duluth Dolls, Kitchi Gammi Club, Homegrown Music Festival, and the Salvation Army Rookie Basketball Association.

With a background in hospitality and administrative services, Tess has cultivated a strong commitment to serving her community.

As a neurodivergent individual, she has gained insight into how to harness her unique skills, allowing her brain to work in harmony with her. This inspired her to start her business, aimed at sharing the tips and tricks she has learned to assist others.
