She is the recipient of the Town of Babylon Community Service Award for their Women's History Month, and is a recipient of Vision Long Islands Smart Growth Award. Theresa was a NY Rising CRP (Community Reconstruction Program) Committee Member for the Babylon/West Babylon NYR Committee. She can prioritize workloads and multi-task as well as manage many individuals needs.

Theresa can also be found feeding families in need throughout Babylon Town for every Holidays including during the pandemic, through a non profit she founded - Hope Floats Long Island Inc. 

With Hope floats Long Island Inc. she has helped many businesses and families working alongside the Grammy Award winning NBC show called George to the Rescue which she has been a part of since season 2 ( they are now on season 13). 

Theresa has organized and executed the Babylon Village Pride parade for the past three years since it’s inception and each year it just gets bigger. Inclusion and acceptance of everyone is the very definition of what Babylon Pride stands for. 

The best part is that Theresa does everything she does in her community as a volunteer.
