From a family of 29 children, some of whom were adopted, Tessa Piety (16C) found her opportunity to shine at Berry.
As a political science major and mentor to disadvantaged youth, she knew even in her undergraduate years that working to empower and care for others would be a big part of her life. She now works at the Bureau of Prisons in Chattanooga helping to change inmates’ lives for the better.
When she’s not at work, she’s pursuing a master’s in criminal justice and also helps mentally disabled individuals in her community to thrive. Tessa continues to be a role model for everyone she meets.
