I’m Tessa.
I’m a content-creating, family-focused communication expert with a penchant for sparkling water and a deep-seated obsession with the mechanics of language. But beyond the semicolons and syntax,
My real passion is helping you design a life that reads as well as it looks.
I stumbled upon my passion.
Like any college student, I had no idea where I wanted my life to go. I considered the pathway to becoming a lawyer, a book editor, and even a teacher, but as I progressed through my degrees in English, Spanish, and technical communications, I knew none of those truly spoke to my passions and desires.
I also found myself struggling to get behind the idea of working 40 hours a week for someone else’s company, let alone for the rest of my life. It felt like the transaction it was (I’ll type away 8 hours a day for you, you’ll transfer a humble amount into my bank account each month). I don’t just want to work for a company.
I want to build a community.
I realized that the same principles I used to deconstruct a complex sentence—clarity, structure, and intent—could be used to build a brand and a life. Digital marketing was the green flag that allowed me to combine my love for linguistics with my drive for independence. Now, I use my technical background to help you master the “grammar” of your own life: from organizing your habits to communicating your worth.
What I Am
Creator: From a young age, I’ve loved writing, photography, and videography. Over the years, my passion for creativity has only grown, and now I get to share what I love in a way that inspires and helps others.
Organizer: I thrive on structure, planning, and systems that make life easier—though I’m always learning new ways to improve. I create tools and guides to help you edit out the noise and focus on what matters.
Marketer: I understand how to create content that connects. With a background in digital marketing and social media, I’ve learned how to turn creativity into strategy—helping myself and others grow and connect online.
Academic: My foundation is built on an affinity for the language. I hold degrees in English, Spanish, and Technical Communications, which inform everything I do—from the way I structure a blog post to how I help you audit your own brand’s voice.
Sister: My family is my root word. I consider my role as a daughter and a sister one of the most important in my life, and it brings a huge sense of meaning to my days.
What I’m Not
Influencer: I’m not here to sell you a perfect lifestyle—I’m here to share real experiences, grammar lessons, and communication strategies that resonate to provide you with real value.
Therapist: I love giving advice and sharing my experiences, but I am not a mental health professional. I encourage learning, growth, and self-reflection, but sometimes, the best step is to seek expert guidance.
Doctor: I might talk about wellness, productivity, and lifestyle, but I’m not a medical professional. My advice is based on research and personal experience—always consult a licensed professional.
A Financial Expert: I love talking about financial literacy and the freedom that comes with being organized, but I am not a certified financial advisor or accountant. While I may share my personal journey with money, my advice is based on my own research and experience. Always consult a licensed expert for specific investment or tax needs.
Guru: I don’t have all the answers—although I wish I did! I’m learning and growing just like you, and this blog is a space to figure things out together.
