Theresa is equally at home on a jobsite as at a drafting desk. Her formal training in architecture and journalism have given her the skills to be a jack-of-many trades: carpenter, illustrator, magazine editor, photographer, author, designer, publisher, model, and publicist.

    She is a contributor to HGTVpro.com and DIYNetwork.com, an author of Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement and DIY Quick Fix

from DK publishing and Black & Decker Complete Guide to Shelves & Built-Ins from Creative Publishing and the card game and coloring book Build It!

   As a publisher, she has created more than 50 products in the home building industry—from software and business books to Spanish publications.

    When she isn't helping others with home improvement, she's working on her Formal Farmhouse or out volunteering. She's serves on her town's main street board, is a contributing reporter for the local newspaper, and helps run Race Against the Sun, an organization that raises money and awareness for melanoma. She is a former competitive rower, recreational runner, and bass player.
