In just a moment you’ll meet Teresa Valerio Parrot, Founder and Principal of TVP Communications, a premier higher education communications firm.
Growing up, Teresa wanted to be on Sesame Street. She loved the authentic and positive character of the series and spent many an evening sitting on the couch next to her father watching Big Bird and Elmo teach important life lessons.
Teresa’s parents greatly valued education and she became the first female in her extended family to complete not just her bachelor’s degree, but a master’s as well — and yes, she’s currently working on her EdD.
After graduating from the University of Colorado with her BA in Communication, she went on to work in the President’s office of the university as a special assistant.
And it was here that Teresa really grew to understand and love the power of words. After many years at the University of Colorado, Teresa went to work at SimpsonScarborough and Widmeyer Communications after that.
One evening, a couple of her colleagues invited her out for drinks after work...and before Teresa could even take a sip of her beer, they asked a question that would change the rest of her life — “Why are you here? Why aren’t you doing something on your own?”
Tune in to hear the dynamic story of how this question inspired the birth of TVP Communications. You can learn more about Teresa and TVP Communications by visiting their website or following Teresa on Twitter.
