Tesia has been a devoted pet mom for her entire life, but it wasn’t until recently that she made her passion her career- previously a meticulous baker and worker of many Woodstock kitchens, Tesia traded her aprons for scrubs and is happy to be a part of the team. Considering how involved her sister has been with the Saugerties Animal Shelter, it’s clear that Tesia’s love for animals runs in the family!

When she isn’t working, Tesia likes experimenting in the kitchen- now her solace, not her job- hiking, making music, and spending time with her fiance, their dog, Della Mae and cats, Arlo and Zena.
