Hi, I’m Tessa Townsend! I’m originally from Dalton, Georgia, and my path has taken me from playing college volleyball at Chattanooga State to earning my Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship with a minor in Marketing at the University of Tampa. My move to Tampa was a fresh start that pushed me out of my comfort zone and opened the door to new experiences, friendships, and opportunities.

During my time at UTampa, I became involved in Kappa Alpha Theta, Global Ambassadors, and the American Marketing Association, all of which strengthened my leadership, communication, and community-building skills. I also had the chance to study abroad, which gave me a broader global perspective and a deeper appreciation for cultural connections.

I’m now continuing my journey at Colorado State University Pueblo as a Marketing Graduate Assistant while pursuing my MBA. Outside of work and school, I love staying active, baking, drawing, and exploring new places with friends. Every step has brought something new, and I’m excited for what comes next!

Travel

I’ve always loved traveling with my family; my favorite memories are from those trips. Ever since I was little, my mom would share stories about her study-abroad experience, and I knew I wanted to follow in her footsteps. In spring 2024, I had a fantastic opportunity to study abroad with Semester at Sea, traveling to 11 different countries and visiting 12 unique ports. After the semester ended, I was fortunate enough to travel with my mom and sister through three more countries, where I got to experience both the unique differences and surprising similarities across cultures.W

Cooking

I love discovering new recipes and trying them out. Being health-conscious, I focus on clean eating, which led me to start making sourdough, something I find stress-relieving. I also enjoy learning to bake new things, and each time I make something, I get to share it with friends, making it a fun experience for all of us!

Working Out

I’ve played sports my whole life, so staying active has always been my thing—but it’s more than just fitness for me. It’s how I escape the chaos in my head and in my life. Whether I’m taking long walks on Bayshore, getting in the zone with boxing, or just moving in some way, it’s my way of hitting reset. It helps me release tension, clear my mind, and just feel like myself again.
