Armed with a positive attitude and thirty one evening dresses, Theresa managed her own marketing and business negotiations in twelve countries performing and encountering celebrities such as Andrew Lloyd Webber, Matt Lauer, Elton John, Princess Grace, Donald Sutherland, ‘James Bond’ and Andrea Bocelli. With her outgoing personality and musical mastery, global doors opened for Theresa to appear in some of the world’s most prestigious venues from Tahiti to Tokyo, from Singapore to Switzerland.

In 2006 her extraordinary career was highlighted when Coca Cola hired her to perform at the Winter Olympics in Italy where she became the only world class piano entertainer to bring back a gold medal. (Minor matter it’s of the candy kind.)

A former bank clerk, waitress, actress, secretary and TV talk show host, Theresa moved to the United States in 1982 and there after began combining popular songs with Aussie humor, original stories and a motivational message that launched her into the speaking industry. Theresa’s inspirational, entertaining keynotes have been in demand by associations, corporations and non profit organizations largely because the music sets her apart from most other professional speakers in the country.

Her unique style of playing the piano to emphasize relevant points has resulted in a universal appeal that energizes and uplifts a wide range of audiences with clients like ExxonMobil saying: “Theresa's music and humor significantly increased the impact of her message and really delivered the results we were looking for. Our employees said this was the best meeting they’ve attended in 20 years!” Her extensive international experience, customized content, humorous speaking style and outstanding musical talent connects her to diverse cultures and all generations in today’s global society.

Theresa is a professional member of the National Speakers Association where she won the John Wolfe Award for speaking excellence in 2007. She is a founding member of the Australian-American Chamber of Commerce and former President of the Piano Entertainers Guild. A contributing author to the anthology "Rekindling the Human Spirit” (Liberty Publishing) Theresa continues to write numerous articles, newsletters and blogs. Her top selling piano CD “Songs for Friends” was recorded in 2001 with her second album soon to be released.

Theresa resides in Houston where she has yet to sound like a native Texan.
