About Me — Teresa Morrison
Freelance Writer. Funny Storyteller. Lover of Musicals.
Hi everyone! I’m Teresa. I’m 30 years old, and I’ve lived in New York City for the past seven years.
You Can Take The Girl Out of Jersey, But You Can’t Take Jersey Out of the Girl.
Can you guess where I’m from? I’m a New Jersey girl, born and raised. And I would love to use this platform to say if you pronounce it “JOY-ZEEE,” I will correct you because no one ever says it like. Then I’ll see if you want to go to a diner and get disco fries! I grew up with two sisters, an older and a younger, who I am very close to. I would also like to use this platform to say that middle child syndrome is REAL. I don’t pick favorites, but my older sister has blessed our family with the most handsome little boy in all the land, so she’s up by a few. My Mom is from Cuba, which means you’re probably thinking, “Teresa’s bilingual!” And I’m not. I’m furious at myself for that! My Dad is from New Jersey and is a Marine, so giving him hugs rarely happens. Although divorced, they are both now happily married to other people.
