Additionally, I turn data into harmony. This brings joy with neat rows. My finance path began years ago. It’s driven by a love for order. I’ve grown through practice and patience.

I solve challenges creatively. Moreover, my effort lifts our department. I stay late to perfect plans. My focus ensures success.
Personal Side
Beyond balance sheets, I’m a frugal humorist behind “Laughs by Teresa.” Hailing from the Philippines, I spent over a decade teaching English to adult learners, honing my knack for simplifying complex ideas with patience and humor. This shapes how I transform finance and my dog Sansa’s antics into relatable stories. As an introvert who mastered English as a second language, I bring a cultural twist to demystifying money. Daily, I find joy in coffee breaks and share it with readers to make finance feel approachable, offering insights about the author’s journey.
Family Support
My husband and Sansa join life’s mess. Their antics, along with my spreadsheet love, inspire tales about the author. Plus, they add warmth. Together, we navigate ups and downs, fueling creativity. Sansa supports me at my desk, while my husband shares ideas over dinner.

My Mission
I demystify finance with a smile. Also, I foster connection and celebrate moments. So, welcome! Laugh, relate, and feel less alone. My goal is to make finance fun for all and share enlightening tales about the author’s journey.
