About Tere


About Tere


ENGINEER, AUTHOR,
CREATIVE STRATEGIST

Sure it's unusual to have degrees in engineering, English, and creative writing, but there's no better combination for the digital age. Tere's years as a systems engineer make her efficient, process-driven, and focused on the bottom line. Her 20 how-to books have sold over a million copies to people who need simple solutions. And her digital-marketing efforts on behalf of organizations have garnered worldwide awards while wildly exceeding business goals.

OVER TWO DECADES
OF CONTENT AND DESIGN

Tere has been writing for web, apps, social media, marketing campaigns, and executive speeches since 2002. She led the social-media efforts of one of the most iconic nonprofits in the world and grew engagement by over a thousand percent a month. She spent a dozen years flexing her content muscles as a manuscript-development editor for trade and tech publishers. She's the author of more than 20 how-to books. And she has been creating websites and designing for web and social media since 2013, with well over 10,000 hours of experience.

FRIENDLY, PRACTICAL,
NOT TOO TECHY

Even the techiest topics are made easy by Tere. Whether she's facilitating a campaign brainstorming session, teaching a social-media workshop, or prepping a CEO for a panel or speech, Tere combines her friendly, patient, down-to-earth style with practical, step-by-step, not-too-techy guidance. Before long, you'll forget she's an engineer.

Pronunciation


Pronunciation


TARE-ee, teh-RAY, or TEER?

With an oddly spelled first name and a last name that's not pronounced like the food conglomerate, here's a little help pronouncing Tere's name:

  • Tere (TARE-ee) rhymes with Mary and Jerry. Just like those who spell it Teri or Terri, Tere is a nickname for Teresa: in her case, the -sa is simply lopped off.
  • The -ou sound in Stouffer has the same sound as house, scout, and about. (It does not have the -ou sound in dough, soul, and poultry.) House, Stouffer. Scout, Stouffer. About, Stouffer. Makes sense?
