<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nShe has been living in the San Francisco Bay Area for about three and a half years now with her husband, Tyson, and their dog, Sadie. They currently live in Alameda, a small island in the Bay Area, where they have all had to adjust to a smaller, lucky-to-have-a-parking-spot kind of lifestyle that comes with living in a city. Both Tessa and her husband\u2019s families live in or around the Sacramento area, which is where they both lived before relocating to the Bay Area. They are happy to call the Bay Area home, as it\u2019s a place with endless natural beauty, plenty of activities and phenomenal weather all while being close to the mountains for skiing and their families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tessa says she is very fortunate\nto be surrounded by wonderful family members on both sides, and they have\namazing friends that they also consider family. They have a group of friends\nthat take an annual ski trip to Vail, Colorado, which is always a blast. Another\ngroup of friends are their exploring companions, where they try to pick new\nplaces (cities, national parks, states, etc.) that they haven\u2019t been to and\ntravel together once a year. Tessa and Tyson just welcomed a beautiful niece\ninto the world last month, which is a reminder to them of how important it is\nto spend time with family and how lucky they are to have a healthy growing\nfamily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tessa and Tyson love to cook at\nhome, and they are always looking for new challenging dishes to make from\nscratch. Tessa considers herself an avid baker and enjoys making new things. Besides\nbaking, cooking, traveling, and exploring, she really enjoys anything crafty.\nCrafts of all different kinds; if she can paint it, glue it, stitch it, built\nit or sew it, then count her in. She is also a movie buff and is determined to\nhave her husband enjoy the classics and must-sees with her… it\u2019s a work in\nprogress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does working for Chemsearch FE align with your life goals?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve always enjoyed meeting new people, connecting and learning more about them and hearing stories. At Chemsearch FE, the lifestyle is exactly that, the connections and how we can make a small or large impact on each other\u2019s lives. What I appreciate most working at Chemsearch is the work-life balance, and honestly that it\u2019s not just something that\u2019s said. There truly is the ability to have a flexible work-life balance while still being able to achieve goals however big I may set for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where were you (job or industry) before joining Chemsearch FE?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI was in the food industry during\nmy college years and transitioned to a career with Coca-Cola after graduating.\nDuring my tenure with Coke, I was able to achieve success in the company\nstarting out as a sales representative, quickly climbing into management, and then\ninto large account development. I can contribute success here at Chemsearch to\nthe lessons and skills learned with Coke and even in the food industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you feel is your biggest accomplishment so far in your\ncareer with Chemsearch FE?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nMy biggest accomplishment thus far\nis building my business and completing the goals I set for myself within the\nfirst year. There was, of course, a lot of learning and growing, but I\u2019ve been\nable to build a successful career that has put me in a great position setting\nme up for continued future success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are the most rewarding parts of your job?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe most rewarding parts of my day\nare starting off with a good cup of coffee and heading out to meet new people\nand make new connections. When I\u2019m able to connect with a client, I try to\ncreate an environment that\u2019s filled with a little bit of work and a lot of\ntalking and sharing life stores. These moments with customers are a way for\nthem to take a quick break from the daily grind, which I like seeing them\nenjoy; at least I hope they enjoy it as much as I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you consider a fulfilling workday?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nA fulfilling workday to me is building a deeper connection with my customers while trying to help them solve real problems. I\u2019m a firm believer that being upfront and honest with each client goes much further than just trying to sell a product, and I\u2019ve had great success sticking to this motto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
