About
Teresa began her life as a symbol of inspiration; born under special circumstances weighing a little over one pound compounded with severe heart issues. She overcame these medical obstacles surprising the doctors by living beyond their projected life span of twenty-four hours. Later, in her teens, she was introduced to the world of writing when she submitted a poem for creative writing class which got selected in the school yearbook. Her professional background has expanded from working with family business to Fortune 500 companies as an executive assistant. This led her to start her own virtual administrative business, Key Business Partners, in 2007. Following an internal sense of purpose she turned that enterprise into an online book promotional company that has helped numerous authors share their personal messages with others. At 40, this native Floridian’s true life purpose came to the forefront. As an inspirational writer, author and poet, this author of Life Lessons from the Heart (2012 Smashwords) is an advocate for women who want to realize and celebrate their own uniqueness. She serves as a reminder that one’s true purpose can be experienced every day. Teresa showcases her passion to help empower others to overcome their obstacles and realize their own voice through the celebration of self trust and love.
