Meet Teri Cook

She is Language Arts/English middle school teacher in Palmdale, about an hour outside of Los Angeles, and originally from New Orleans. She started officiating football a few years ago when a friend told her to try it out. For the past ten years, Cook has officiated in volleyball and this year will mark her fifth year as a football official. Cook enjoys working with students and seeing them progress while building relationships with the coaches to help support young athletes. She attends football camps in the off-season to get better, but not to necessarily move up or advance. She runs a catering business bringing soul food to Southern California.
