According to her many nominators:

Teresa wears many hats and is always going the “extra mile” in contributing to the success of the University Marketing office as well as the VPAPS office. Her position requires the ability to exercise discretion, initiative, and independent judgment in establishing priorities and completing assigned duties in an environment with frequent interruptions while also requiring motivation and public relations skills that are essential for the contact with members of the community, donors, advertising representatives, and campus personnel. Teresa is always on the lookout for new opportunities to put WIU at the forefront of the public eye. She is a very strong advocate for WIU and a very valued employee.
