(Mexicali resident Tessy played the role of ANDREA, one of the main characters in the independent film “Ni Una Mas!/Not One More!” even though she had never acted in a film project before.

I am a psychologist. I always like to help people, to learn about their lives so I can become more empathetic with what I hear. I enjoy learning from others, but more than anything, it helps me understand how to treat each person.
I feel that I’m shy—I am shy. I really enjoy connecting with people, making friends, working. I’m ambitious. I love having money, and above all, I love working for it and having a good life.

Proof Of Intelligence: A Dramatic Solo Performance on Climate Change
Proof of Intelligence is an engaging explanation of climate change in dramatic monologue form. What if Planet Earth, in human form, were to appear in a reality television show, such as America's Got IQ, to plead for the environment? Would we listen to him or buzz him out? That's the premise of this interesting book that covers pollution, environmental responsibility, and evidence that points to the reality of climate change, explaining its possible effects on man's everyday life degree by degree. The author offers 100 different things that anyone can do on a daily basis from home all the way to the office in order to protect the environment. The dramatic monologue itself is full of references to scientific studies and research, but never tedious or too heavy for anyone to understand. Everything is explained in very plain English for the sake of simplicity.
