Tessa became a freelance writer for Glam in the summer of 2022, and she has been enamored with and inspired by her Glam coworkers’ articles since day one. Glam allows Tessa to marry her love of writing with her desire to connect with other humans who are journeying their way through life. As a forty-something, she is determined to celebrate life at this age and to remind others that we have no expiration date. We are forever fabulous in our skin.
