CoAction WIC

Meet Tressa, our dedicated Lead CPA in WIC! 💙 She’s passionate about supporting her team so they can best serve families helping clients reach their nutrition and breastfeeding goals (and yes, she admits she can’t resist tickling babies’ tiny toes before an iron check 😊).

One of her proudest moments? Encouraging a family to get active together, leading to a powerful health transformation for a young child.

Tressa is motivated by her faith and inspired by her Nanna’s belief in the importance of nutrition from the very start of life. Outside of work, she loves cooking with family, staying active, and being involved in her son’s school.

👏 Thank you, Tressa, for putting care into action every day!
