About me
Teresa Johnson, Founder and Geologist
I’ve collected rocks with my mom for as long as I can remember, even if I couldn’t tell you what they were besides “pretty.” Now, I understand what those rocks are and how they formed.
I’m a 2010 BS and 2015 MS geology alumna from Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO, and I love everything about rocks under the microscope. I began my geology career working at a mining exploration company, and I’m currently a petrographic consultant for engineering and exploration companies.
My husband, Matthias, and I are empty nesters. We sold our house a few years ago and now are traveling around the USA.
One of my favorite things about Terra Persona, is getting to talk rocks with researchers, professors, and students at conferences like GSA.
