As of 2024, Teresa Platt is on sabbatical, traveling, researching, writing and taking photos. Her architectural and landscape photographs of the villages of the Lot River Valley have been included in exhibits in the Lot department of Southwest France.
Educated in fine arts, architecture and communications, Teresa worked in marketing and public relations in Los Angeles until she joined her father and his partner managing shoreside operations for a tuna boat operating in the high seas tuna yellowfin tuna fishery in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. She also co-owned a sailboat charter company operating on San Diego Bay.
With her background in business, Teresa expanded into government affairs with a focus on fishing, farming, the hospitality business, property rights on land and at sea, and engaged in policy work at a Washington DC think tank.
Teresa also created two vacation rentals in North San Diego County, building them into successful operations (Lakemont Drive and Wilt Road), along with consulting on the vacation rental business and involvement in the successful community organization SaveGirdValley.com.
2024 finds Teresa traveling between Europe and the US while completing a novel, The Dark Side of Hunger Mountain, set in timber communities in the Pacific Northwest.
