Teri Wallace Smith

I graduated from SIU-C and moved to Jackson, TN, where I became a court reporter and thought I met the love of my life....what did I know at the age of 22?? I worked in the Circuit Court there until the end of 1999 when I had Hannah and divorced my lying, cheating husband. I moved back to Southern Illinois and bounced around different career paths not related to court reporting...yes, I know, a waste of my college education. You don't have to tell me that, because my mom does a good enough job of reminding me!! I met my current husband, remarried in 2002, and had my second bundle-of-joy, Grace, in 2004. After bouncing around many different careers, I finally became employed with the State of Illinois....life is great!!!
