About Teri

Teri Richardson first dreamed of becoming a teacher when she was in 4th grade, thanks to the amazing teacher she had that year. Many, many years later, Teri received her bachelor’s degree in child and adolescent studies from Cal State, Fullerton, and an elementary teaching credential from National University. Before joining iLEAD, Teri taught in brick-and-mortar schools, worked in special education, and taught preschool and privately independent studyed for families. Her favorite part of being a teacher is working closely with the parents to best serve her students, which is why she is thrilled to be a part of iLEAD Exploration.

In her free time, Teri enjoys being on the ocean, family trips to Catalina, DIY, doing craft projects, spending time with her family, friends, nieces, and nephews, going to the mountains, gardening, and giving back to the community.
