Therese is a busy mom and the author of the book, "Playing For Keeps". After working as a career woman for many years till she sold her company, Therese retired early and spends more time with her kids. She shares that her experience with 9-11 also made her reevaluate all she was doing why she was doing them. Having a father who was all about Family helped inculcate it in Therese. She brought those same values into raising her kids, particularly by making sure she set an example that they could follow. After her dad died, Therese started to research her heritage just like her dad did, and realized that she came from a line of quite prominent people which helped her understand why she was so driven and motivated to stand out.
