SUE SAYS

In speaking with Tere, I could not help but be moved by her candor. Two defining experiences emerged as she shared who she is and what’s behind her strong work ethic. Her Mother, a survivor of breast cancer, came to America to escape Communism in Cuba. Tere’s Dad battled alcoholism and died young because of it. Tere opted for a preventative double mastectomy after learning she tested positive for the BRCA-2 gene. In spite of it all, she remains an optimistic, hard working, ambitious wife and mother of two.
