Theresa Kolbus was born and raised in Indiana. She grew up in Indianapolis and Greenwood and graduated from Center Grove High School. Trying her hand at Indiana State University and Ivy Tech, she decided college wasn't for her and decided instead to buy her first and only home at 21 and get to work.

After 10 years working at The Hartford Insurance Group, she decided to jump into the field of entrepreneurship. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, it was in her blood. She and her best friend, Amanda, started The Dust Devils LLC, a residential cleaning service. They wanted to get away from their desk jobs, into something a little more active. A year later, Amanda moved away, and Theresa decided she wanted to grow the business. She had experience facilitating and leading in-class training, leading a QA team and participated in Process Improvement meetings. She also coached both the women and men's roller derby teams for almost 10 years. These two ventures gave her experience in leadership. In 2018, she found a business coach and community who helped her implement systems in her business.

In 2022, she made it to the top 5-7% of cleaning services in terms of revenue, as she continues to focus on making life better for her customers by providing cleaning services you can trust and for her employees by providing an accepting and supportive work environment.

Consuelo Poland Lockhart's journey from her early days in Guatemala to becoming an advocate for marginalized communities has its roots in Traverse City, Michigan, where she grew up feeling isolated due to the lack of diversity. This feeling of not fitting in, despite a solid education, planted the seeds for her future work. In 2006, at the age of 17, Consuelo's life took a pivotal turn when she reunited with her biological family, an experience that profoundly influenced her perspective and ambitions.

Armed with a BFA in Functional Art and a welding certification, Consuelo's commitment to social and economic change was further fueled by her personal narrative. Moving to Indianapolis in 2016, she took the helm of Ruckus Makerspace and established the Latinas Welding Guild Inc in 2017, a response to her struggles with discrimination and the barriers in male-dominated fields. This venture aimed to create a nurturing space for learning and growth that Consuelo wished had existed for her.

In 2023, as Executive Director of Project Azul, which merged with the Latinas Welding Guild, Consuelo led the organization into a new phase. This expansion enabled the Guild to offer a wider range of trades, broadening its impact and reach within the community. Consuelo’s narrative is a testament to turning personal challenges into avenues for collective empowerment, ensuring that others find the belonging and opportunities she once sought for herself.
