Teresa Therriault

Brief Biography

Teresa Therriault, (pronounced Terry-o), loved being a fourth grader and aspired to be a veterinarian-nun. Some things have changed since then, because Teresa has been a teacher for over thirty years as a special needs, classroom, talented and gifted, and Title 1 teacher in elementary and middle schools. In addition, she has been a literacy facilitator and District Language Arts Specialist. Teresa and her husband have relocated from the San Diego area back to Portland, Oregon where she travels as a Literacy Consultant. Teresa likes a balance in her life between work and play and laughter permeates both. One of her favorite quotes comes from George Bernard Shaw when he said, "Oh to be seventy again."
