WELCOME
Hi! I’m Teresa!
I’m so glad you dropped by. I’m a mom of two amazing children, a business owner, a homeschool teacher, and a follower of Christ currently residing in Chattanooga, TN. I am blessed to do so many things that provide for my family and help others, but the one I find the most rewarding is helping small business owners, freelancers, and nonprofit ministries with their marketing needs. We are a family of entrepreneurs & freelancers here, with four business ventures between the three of us, so we understand the needs and struggles you face. I want to help.
I’ve been in the marketing/fundraising world for over 15 years, beginning my career in the nonprofit world, but mostly working on my own serving local businesses and ministries. I love helping to craft a brand message that aids in reaching goals, assisting a business owner in building a strategy that fits their strengths and business needs and watching a ministry thrive with clear communication and content.
I’ve been a writer/teacher for as long as I can remember – since my teens. Though it’s the latest ‘new’ thing that I am pursuing, it’s been a part of my life the longest. My love of words runs deep. Communication is such a gift. I incorporate this love in my work through creating content and coaching services, allowing me to use writing and teaching to help my clients’ businesses grow.
If you need help with your business or ministry, let’s get to work!
SOME OF MY FAVS
Get to know me
IF I WASN'T DOING THIS...
I’d be writing. I love to write about things I’m passionate about – education, my faith, scripture, and so much more!
LOVE TO TEACH:
I’ve been a homeschool parent teacher for over a decade, a bible study teacher for even longer than that, and I just can’t help but teach… love it! I get excited when I learn something new and can share it with others.
my favorite hobby:
My favorite hobby-turned-side-hustle is creating all-natural skincare and wellness products. I started making them for personal use out of necessity and soon fell in love with the whole process – research, experimenting, and the art of perfecting a product. I’m a marketing pro by day, and a chemist by night. You can find out more about my products at Naturally Nurturing Creations.
MY FAV MUSIC
I love so many genres of music. Worship music, jazz, musicals, folk, a little pop, country (sometimes)… and I love road trip karaoke in the car with my children! Music can change the moment we are in, make a hard day easier, and point our minds back to higher and better things! It is a gift from heaven and I’m so grateful for it.
I´M MOST THANKFUL FOR:
My family and friends – my children, my mom, a simply massive extended family, and the most faithful friends a girl can ask for! Relationships are an important part of the human experience. And good relationships are so life-giving!
Z25 Marketing
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I always get asked what Z25 means. It’s a wonderful story, actually. In the years before Z25 Marketing was established, I found myself in a very hard place in life, as we all do from time to time. Unsure of what to do in the midst of the storm in my life, a dear friend shared a verse with me. It became a refuge in that storm, a tether in wandering, and a hope for the future. “‘For I,’ declares the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.'” Zechariah 2:5
As a female small business owner myself, I understand the struggles of starting and maintaining a small business, while supporting a family. I didn’t start this business to grow an empire or get rich. It was a gift given to me to provide for my family and for other small business owners. I am passionate about helping you understand how the world of marketing can help build your business without compromising your values or morality.
At Z25 Marketing, we’re proud to be an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB). This membership reflects our commitment to integrity, transparency, and high standards in all we do for our clients. Being part of the BBB means we adhere to its code of business practices, including a strong dedication to honesty, responsiveness, and quality in our services.
Our BBB accreditation is a testament to our values and our ongoing pledge to provide excellent service and trusted marketing solutions to each client we serve. When you work with us, you can have confidence knowing we stand behind our work and prioritize ethical practices in every aspect of our business.

You’re Putting Time into Social Media. Is It Helping the Work You Care About?
Your website shouldn’t be a “fix-it-and-forget-it” project. WordPress needs ongoing care to stay secure, fast, and reliable—and most issues happen long before you ever see them. A maintenance plan protects your site, supports your mission, and frees you to focus on the work that matters most.
