Teressa is founder and CEO of P.H. Village Publishers, LLC. The company was established as a result of her efforts to self-publish her first work “And Then Some,” released December 2004.  In an effort to help other aspiring authors, she released her second book “Handy Guide to Self-Publishing,” June 2008.  She enjoys spending time promoting her works through various literary venues and other events that afford her not only the opportunity to promote her work, but to meet people from all walks of life.

Teressa holds a Bachelor of Science degree in business from Towson University in Maryland. She is a member of Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware where she serves on the steering committee for the Daughters of Radiance "Women's" Ministry.

Future books for Teressa will focus on giving the readers what she calls, “A Reader’s Pathway to Peace and Tranquility.”
