Theresa was a freelance writer for many years and is a graduate of Harvard University. She enjoys writing because each new story is a like new adventure -- no two are ever alike. She started freelancing in Medfield in 2010 and fell in love with the town -- so much so that she moved there shortly thereafter.
When not writing, she can be found exploring New England with her children, enjoying visits to Upstate New York where she grew up, or exploring her new MetroWest hometown.
