There’s nothing Tessa likes more than writing. The robots may be taking over, but nothing can replace the passion and power of personal storytelling.

Tessa’s writing is candid, raw, and often confronting.

She’s tackled themes like fear, love, friendship, shame and grit. And the feedback from her articles in The Times has been incredible.

Tessa is co-authoring a book – a collection of vivid, honest, personal stories, along with advice and insights – that will help friends and loved ones support someone living with cancer.

In the meantime, she’s available for writing opportunities so she can help spread the word that people going through trauma are not alone. And that it is possible to grow personally and professionally from adversity.
