Having Criss Crossed the country for eighteen different moves over her life, some might think Teresa was trying to evade the law. As much as we wish that story was true, unfortunately it isn't... you see, Teresa was a military spouse and was just following orders. 

 

But all that crazy moving and life experiences provided great fodder for her storytelling --like raising four kids in a new city every 3 years; or the time she had to entertain the King and Queen of Tonga and Jimmy Carter's son and wife at a luncheon on the island of Saipan for its inauguration as a Commonwealth of the United States.  You just can't make that kind of stuff up... but you can rework it into a great script. 

​

And speaking of scripts, Teresa has mastered the art of scriptwriting, even earning the prestigious Samuel Goldwyn Award for a drama pilot she wrote for UCLA in their Master of Screenwriting Program, called DoubleBlind.  Teresa was also a contributing writer to the anthology, Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards (Netflix) produced by James Franco.  Writing is her jam and she happens to be really, really good at doing just that.  Teresa has optioned a comedy feature called The Stewardess, pitched a drama pilot to CBS and optioned a feature adaptation about a baseball/Vietnam story called The Dodger, in the last three years alone.   

​

Based out of Los Angeles, but available to us when the need arises, Teresa is an asset we are lucky to have... and you would be as well.  She is available for all you script and writing needs.  She’s so good it’s almost criminal! Which brings us back to those eighteen moves... just joking Teresa! When not working scripts, she has also published articles in TIME, The San Francisco Chronicle, and the Army/Navy/Air Force Times.
