Teresa is passionate about helping clients uncover and share their social "purpose" – the end benefit to people or society. She has applied her passion for purpose to numerous client accounts and leads the firm’s strategic planning practice. Through facilitation of strategic planning, she helps organizations determine where they are now, where they want to be in the future, and – importantly – how to get there. Teresa believes in the power of a clearly defined organizational vision and purpose to deliver business success.

She has led a range of strategic planning, integrated media relations, marketing communications, crisis and issues management, website development and social media projects for clients in multiple industries. While her client portfolio is vast, she also has deep expertise in agriculture and food.

She is a member of Farm Foundation and spearheads NST’s Food Foresight process, a trends intelligence system for the agri-food chain.

Teresa – who earned her Master of Business Administration from San Diego State University – has received numerous awards, including being named Young and Influential by the San Diego Daily Transcript and 40 Under 40 by the San Diego Metropolitan in 2016.
