Bio
Casey Sommers
It was a pleasure working with Teresa for over 5 years at Cohen & Gresser LLP. Her ability to multi-task and always be a step ahead of what was needed for the growth and development of the firm was fantastic. She had the ability to get the best out of the staff she managed and was a strong mentor for me in the work place. Her professionalism and desire to self improve was apparent throughout my entire time with her. There was never a task requested of her that she did not take on with complete passion and dedication for the best outcome. She is a quick study, can think on her feet, and is extremely efficient.
Cheryl Lipner
Teresa began working with me as a temporary replacement for my Assistant, who was out of the office on disability, almost three years ago. She stayed on to work on special projects, helping to manage our firm's relocation and then upgrade our computer hardware and software. She is talented, dedicated and enthusiastic and has been a truly valuable contributor in every project she has been involved with.
