Tessa, Girl!

Article by: Madison Howard, M&M TIPster

If you are attending TIP at UGA this year, you may have seen an RC with long, beautiful, blond-haired RC that may remind you of a TIPster. Tessa is a nineteen-year-old tennis player who attends the University of Notre Dame in Indiana when she is not working here at TIP. This is her second year working at UGA for TIP.
Tessa was a TIPster when she was younger and attended camp all four years. She became an RC because she was looking for a summer job. “I always thought being an RC would be cool, but I was so young and didn’t look that far into the future.”
Tessa’s mom is from Spain, but if you look at Tessa without knowing this, you would never guess that she is Spanish. She speaks fluent Spanish and is going to Spain after TIP. Tessa attended a private boarding school in Barcelona through high school.
She is very popular among TIP students. Everyone enjoys her company and she is nice and helpful to everyone, including people who aren’t in her RC group. People refer to her RC group as, “Tessa’s girls.” Many inside jokes are shared between Tessa and her girls. Tessa will be missed by all TIPsters who attend camp this year.
“Tessa is such a sweet RC.”- Kaitlyn Shanks, a 14 year old freshman from Houston, Texas
“Tessa is amazing. Wink- face.” -Landon Willey, a 15 year old sophomore from Sebring, Florida.
