Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Teri Camp Willis.
Hi Dr. Teri Camp, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I was born and raised in Little Rock, AR. I am the youngest of eight children. Serving the community and cultivating a strong, loving moral compass were foundational in my home. I have been building on that foundation for decades. I moved to New Jersey in December 1987. I worked in marketing, advertising and public relations for six years before taking a sabbatical to raise my daughter as a stay at home mom. At age 39, I went back to college and completed a masters degree and PhD..

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
-I was born with chronic asthma that almost killed me several times as a child. One episode landed me in the hospital under an oxygen tent for 5 days.
-my parents divorced when I was six years old and remarried each other when I was eight years old.
-the only way I could go to college at age 18 was with a guaranteed student loan. I also had a guaranteed minimum wage job on campus, but also worked a second off campus job while in college full-time. I had to pay off student loan debt when I graduated.
-after 28 years of marriage, I am now divorced due to my now ex-husband‘s midlife crisis
-$250,000 of alimony was lost
