About
“I’ve worked with Teri since 2004 at three different publications. And with Teri, I never have to worry: Will the article be well researched, written with just the right tone for my audience, and full of fresh ideas? Yes, yes, and yes. She makes everyone’s life easier.”
Sarah SmithI’m a content creator (a.k.a. professional writer) who specializes in personal finance, business and parenting & family topics. Translation: I’m one of those people who actually gets excited about subjects like developing a family budget, outsmarting stubborn kids and contributing to Roth IRAs.
My natural enthusiasm comes through in all of my print and online writing. My work appears regularly in consumer publications like Parents and Working Mother. I also work regularly with custom-content agencies such as WSJ Custom Solutions, Pace Communications and Thomson Reuters to provide articles, thought-leadership pieces and more for national companies. I also blog for several companies and attempt to keep up with my own Family Money Blog (which often takes a back seat to my paid work!).
Before entering the full-time freelance world, I spent a decade writing, editing and producing videos for a private university and a regional bank.
I live in Portland, Oregon (have you seen the IFC show “Portlandia”?), with my husband, two daughters and a small flock of spoiled urban chickens.
