Welcome to Patch, Theresa Adams!

Help us welcome the newest member of the Lexington, Irmo, Northeast Columbia and St. Andrews Patch teams, advertising manager Theresa Adams.

We asked Theresa to answer a few questions as an introduction. Feel free to ask her more questions in the comments section below.

Welcome to Patch, Theresa!

Tell us about your background. Where were you born and raised?  

I was born in Maine but grew up in Morton, IL.  My dad was a career Navy man, so we moved several times before settling there.  We moved to South Carolina in 1984 after he retired, and I attended Lexington High School.  I live in Lexington and have been married to my husband Shannon for 20 years.We have two boys, Aaron (13) and Avery (11).

Before coming to Patch, where did you work?  

I have been in the print industry for about fifteen years, working for local magazines and even representing Southern Living Magazine on a statewide level.

What's a typical day been like as a member of the Patch sales team? 

Never a dull moment!  There are a lot of businesses to reach out to to let them know about Patch and what we can do for their business!  

What's your favorite thing about working for Patch so far?  

I really enjoy meeting with business owners, attending networking events, and spreading the word about Patch.  It's important to me to represent a company that wants to make a difference in people's lives, and I think Patch is doing that by creating a sense of community.

Why should Irmo, Lexington, Northeast Columbia and St. Andrews businesses advertise on Patch?  

Because we're all about LOCAL news and what's going on right here in our neighborhoods.  It's a great way to reach potential customers where they're finding their news and community information, and that's ONLINE.  Patch's vision is to become the leader in neighborhood content, conversation, and commerce, and I believe we're doing that.
