Tessa was born in Iran and lived there for the first fourteen years of her life.

Her conversion to Christianity in her twenties changed the course of her life forever. Tessa holds an MDiv from Yale University where she served as Co-Chair of the Evangelical Fellowship at the Divinity School. She serves on the staff of one of the oldest churches in America. But that has not cured her from being exceptionally fond of chocolate.
