Teresa: Where Numbers Meet Laughter
Who I Am
Hey there! I’m Teresa, a Finance Manager in the public sector. By day, I manage budgets with care. I handle spreadsheets too. Often, I make numbers work (most of the time!). 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.
My Work Life
My role includes analyzing trends. I forecast budgets as well. Also, I work with teams for accurate reports each morning. This keeps finances smooth. 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.
Family Support
My husband and Sansa join life’s mess. Their antics, along with my spreadsheet love, inspire tales. 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.
Blog Highlights
My blog features engaging sections. Firstly, “Frugal Funnies” offers tips with humor to save wisely, drawn from experience. Secondly, “Surviving Spreadsheets” blends life and spreadsheets humorously. Lastly, “Adventures in Uncertainty” provides funny insights on life’s uncertainties. Together, these create a space where finance meets laughter.
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.
