Tessa jumped into the communities we serve, joining the board of directors for Renew Mobility to help kids and families facing disabilities find independence. As part of the morning team, she’s brought stories of hope and strength through tragedy, enriched our view of women’s health, education, politics, and life in West Michigan, and helped us wake up many of our days with a laugh.
