Taking influence from her architect father, Tessa has always been interested in buildings and property. Upon graduation from Hogwarts, she attended muggle university to study real estate with the intention of becoming an estate agent, a goal she accomplished in 2106. Although she enjoyed her time in the muggle community, when a position as a leasing agent became available in Diagon Alley she leapt at the opportunity.

Never being satisfied with her achievements, Tessa progressed her studies whilst in full-time employment to gain a certificate in business management, a qualification she would quickly use when the former proprietor left their position and the role became available for the next qualified.

{ The Personality }

Myers Brigg: ESTJ ‘The Executive’
Strengths: Dedicated, strong-willed, direct, loyal, patient, reliable, organised.
Weaknesses: Stubborn, inflexible, judgmental, difficulty relaxing, constant.
Hobbies & Skills: Swimming & Diving.

As with the rest of the McKinley family, Tessa is sociable and friendly but less so than her siblings, choosing to dedicate herself into her career before focusing on her social standings. A natural born Gryffindor with the desire to take the lead, she did well in the subjects she cared about and less so in those she considered unnecessary for her career progression.

The McKinley’s are a quietly competitive family when it comes to engaging in sports and hobbies. Tessa’s chosen activities were swimming and platform diving in which she used to compete in childhood at her local aquatics club and at a national level.
