Born in Lisbon, Portugal, Teresa began her vocal studies at the Instituto Gregoriano de Lisboa with Armando Possante. She went on to study at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln in Germany, where she completed her bachelor’s degree in singing and master's degree in opera with distinction, under the guidance of Professor Claudia Kunz-Eisenlohr.
