Teresa is an award-winning Rust Belt-raised Maltese American documentary filmmaker who hails from the story capitals of Detroit, MI and Buffalo, NY and is currently based in Westchester NY.

Her most recent film, "I'll Find a Way or Make One — A Rosie Story" debuted at the Buffalo International Film Festival in 2022, where her film won "Best Western New York Short Film". Since then, "I'll Find a Way or Make One" has gone on to win several more awards, including "Best Women's Short" at the Independent Short Awards International Film Festival and "Best US Documentary Short" at the International Manhattan Film Awards.
