Board Bio
A member of a resume-writing family, it’s no wonder that Tessa Barlow also “fell into the business.”
As a willing and eager learner, Tessa graduated from the Writing Excellence program offered through the National Resume Writers' Association (NRWA). Under this rigorous program, Tessa gained extensive knowledge in the art of resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and cover letters.
An active member of the NRWA, Tessa served on several committees prior to being elected to the NRWA Board of Directors as a Director of Member Support (DOMS). She serves on the front lines, advocating for the value of the resume-writing profession by providing members with responses to inquiries, promoting career resources, and supporting future-focused initiatives.
A Texas native and California transplant, Tessa now lives in South Dakota with her husband, two children, and her brand-new bernedoodle puppy, Bella. When she is not writing, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her large extended family.
