Hi! I’m Teresa.

I created Dream Catch to help nonprofit and social good leaders share their stories clearly, confidently, and with heart.

At Dream Catch Storytelling Studio, we partner with mission-driven teams to shape stories that move people toward justice, empathy, and action. 
Dream Catch is not just a small business. Our work is a political act of the values we live by and our contribution to creating a more just world. 

Whether you're launching something big, trying to get funders to see your impact, or just feeling stuck with messaging that doesn’t reflect your magic, we’re here to help.

It’s so much easier to picture your project when you can see real examples. Here’s a collection of our past work, from annual reports to websites, to give you a clearer sense of what we can create together.

Before Dream Catch, we struggled with having systematized procedures and plans for marketing our offerings. 

Thanks to Teresa, we now have the practices and structures in place to be able to work more intentionally and efficiently. This saves us work and helps us deliver our message more effectively!

Teresa has a talent for seeing clarity through the clutter and helped me find the story in our work, one that not only aligns with institutional goals but also speaks powerfully to students, faculty, and employers.

Her ability to shape scattered ideas into a meaningful, strategic message was both purposeful and inspiring.

Personal Reflections, Real Conversations with T

Why are we so good at storytelling? Because we’ve lived it.

With roots in journalism and decades of experience across corporations, universities, and nonprofits, Teresa's spent over 20 years shaping stories that matter. But more than that, we tell our own stories. 

We know the courage it takes to be seen, and the power that comes from sharing your truth. That’s the heart of our work.
