Terri Oliver writes “Hi Class of 1988. Being a CAL Alumni has been Awesome! After graduation I gave back to the community by working as a caseworker for Alameda County social services for 4 years. Then, I became a teacher for Oakland Unified School District and worked there for 12 years. I also became an Interior Designer for luxury homes which is a hobby I love. However, I’m passionate about football because I come from a football family with my father and uncle playing for SF City College and my Dad was drafted to the NFL Vikings but was injured his last college game so he didn’t get to go, but I do have one uncle in the NFL Hall of Fame and I wanted to work in the sports industry. I am currently getting my Master’s Degree in Kinesiology, Sports Management and looking forward to working for the 49ers, Warriors or to become a professor at a major university like CAL, USC, UCLA, University of Florida Gators or University of Texas, Austin. I am single with 1 son and hoping to meet my future husband soon. GO BEARS!”
