About
Welcome to my portfolio. Before we begin, in order to eliminate confusion over my name, I need to make you aware that I hold dual citizenship. I am a U.S. citizen born in New York, and have recently become an Israeli citizen as well. In the U.S. and Europe, most of my clients know me as “Teresa” (and no, I’m not “Theresa Hessler”, the body builder!), in Israel I am known as “Tehillah”.
My Talents lie in:
- Wordsmithing: marketing writing, web content development, blogging, branding, social media marketing and content editing.
- Creation and management of web sites, blogs and e-commerce shops.
- Technical Communication: technical writing of end-user manuals, process documentation, grant writing and indexing.
My Passions include:
- Crafting words to move, educate, illuminate and/or entertain.
- Researching markets, behaviors and history.
- Helping people by solving the problems or challenges they face.
My Experience acquired over more than 25 years of working with a diverse group of businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and government entities has provided me with wisdom and techniques that you can now take advantage of. But don’t just take my word for it…
“I hired Tehillah as an external service provider for content production and social media coordinator months ago. I can testify that Tehillah proved to be a valuable asset to the company’s marketing team in terms of MarCom writing, content editing and proofreading and social media content production. Her professional approach, quick understanding of complex messaging and ability to deliver high quality and accurate content are admirable and scarce. Tehillah takes her deliverables seriously, invests time in research and asks the right questions when needed and is an “out of the box” thinker. I would highly recommend any company looking for a serious content writer to hire Tehillah’s services.” August 7, 2011

Elan Jamil, AntiVirus Software Sales Analyst , Greater New York City Area
“I hired Teresa to design and implement a new website for me. Though she was unfamiliar with my business she quickly picked up on what I needed and was able to put it together into the comprehensive website that I needed. She also provided training to me in managing the site. All work was done on time and she put in the extra effort to make the site excellent.” June 14, 2011

Lou Brifman, Regional Developer at Franchise Development Group, Greater New York City Area
“Teresa has a real talent to take technical information and create an easy-to-read story or web page. Plus, her grammar and proofreading are perfect. She gives you explanations and helps simplify the long winded. She helps a web reader make a decision and remain comfortable with short but very effective guidance on a web site. I highly recommend her to not only create new communications but also to edit and clean up older written sales sheets and technical communications.” January 4, 2010
Bruce Nesbitt, Ph.D., CEO, Orion Industries, Chicago, IL“Thank you for completing our user manual. I have looked it over, and I am very pleased. I appreciate your keen eye and your skill in regard to: – Improving the manual’s ease-of-use, including the adding of unique devices that help the user easily understand points all along the way. – Conceptualizing the underlying goals from the standpoint of the end-user. – Raising the language accuracy and style significantly, including converting translated material that was sub-native to a “top-native” level and completing the project fast. We will not hesitate to turn to you again for future technical writing and editing projects.” December 18, 2009
