Theresa has always had a gift for making health education fun and interesting. As a writer and illustrator, she manages to find a fresh spin on even the most mundane topics. Her expertise as a clinician and health educator shines through in her ability to connect with a broad audience and convey technical concepts in easy-to-understand terms.
She is also the consummate professional; in the eight years I worked with her at dLife, Theresa never missed a deadline and always provided thoughtful, actionable feedback in her role as a medical advisory board member. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a smart, forward-thinking healthcare communicator.
