Teri Milner serves as Operations Manager, where she wears many hats—overseeing office management, HR and hiring, accounting, purchasing, bookkeeping, and client financials, while also acting as the liaison with the company’s accountant. With a liberal arts background in English and Political Science, Teri brings a lifelong love of learning to her diverse professional journey, which has included roles in retail, funeral services, insurance, bookkeeping, office management, business ownership, and national franchise training. She thrives in her “professional home,” where her team feels more like family, and the ever-changing nature of the work keeps each day fresh and engaging. Outside the office, Teri is a voracious reader who regularly hits her Kindle goal of 200+ books a year, and a devoted fan of British cozy mysteries and Hallmark whodunits. She and her husband are passionate foodies, always on the lookout for new culinary experiences, and are dreaming up a big European adventure in the near future.
