Teri is a born and raised 3rd generation local Kamaaina. She’s also a Punahou School graduate, attending each year from K to 12. Even though she was highly sought after as a model during High School, she had the fortitude to letter in 11 Varsity sports at Punahou and is a former 2 time all-state Hawaii Women’s Tennis Champion. She and her mother took their skills to the most prestigious U S Open Tennis Tournament in Flushing Meadows, New York and won the mother-daughter division. Ever the competitor that knows no limits, she moved on to compete in and win the crowns of Miss Hawaii National Teenager and then on to winning the Miss Hawaii USA title.
Momentum took her to the mainland to attend Pepperdine University, where she played on their Tennis Team, to the University of San Diego, where she played on both their Tennis and Volleyball Teams and then back home to the University of Hawaii to complete her education. Many hundreds of TV, commercial and print appearances later, she landed a starring role on the hit TV Soap Opera, “The Bold and the Beautiful”. B&B eventually led her to Europe where she became an International Star and added “Pop Singer” to her resume. She sold out concert venues all over Europe and the Middle East and earned 2 Gold Records for her vocal and promotion efforts!
Strutting the catwalks of Milan, gracing the covers of hundreds of magazines, acting in numerous prime-time television shows, commercials and movies; then developing her own line of skin care products, sunglasses and jeans – Teri learned the only pathway to success in the ultra-competitive entertainment industry was to market her personal BRAND. And the marketing lessons she learned in her successful performing career have given her the real-life experience of translating those lessons into successful marketing in real estate when she decided to retire from performing, marry, have children and settle down with her Real Estate Broker husband.
Together, they built one of the Palm Springs, CA area’s most successful independent real estate brokerage firms, specializing in luxury properties and selling over a BILLION DOLLARS of properties.
