As soon as her language arts teacher taught her to form her letters into words and communicate, Teresa grabbed her pencil and ignited a passion within her heart. With a new found talent and her young mind racing, she began the journey toward her destiny.
    She penned her first story at the age of eight; a Christmas love story with two little mice. Teresa's talent was evident even as a child. She burned inside with the desire to write and she longed to follow in the footsteps of her father, who is a writer. But her insecurities and lack of confidence kept her from pursuing her dream until she was in her twenties. Teresa recalls an incident that motivates her still today. "When I was eighteen I wrote a poem for my graduating class and never did anything with it. To this day I wish I would have had the guts to pursue having it published in our graduation program or read at the commencement ceremony. When the fire hit me to do what I love, I decided never to miss another opportunity again."
    Teresa began taking writing classes in college and writing for the school's newspaper "The Gull's Cry". She started off shaky, but once she shed her inhibitions and stopped searching for acclaim, she was unstoppable!
    Everything Teresa writes is done with fullness of heart and without reservation. She has no worries of the level of her abilities and feels there is no goal that cannot be attained. Writing, to Teresa, is a subjective field like art. She does not take criticism or rejection to heart, but allows it to propel her to write something greater, something even more creative than before.
