Teresa Kendrick, features writer with the Wimberley View, has been promoted to editor.
She has been with the Wimberley View since February 2023. Madi Telschow will continue on in her role as editor of the Dripping Springs Century News.
“Madi has done a tremendous job for us in a time of transition for the Wimberley View, and I want to thank her for both her quality work as a journalist and her steady hand managing the View,” Publisher Dalton Sweat said. “I look forward to how she will continue her role in Dripping Springs as we move forward.”
Kendrick comes to the new position with a wealth of experience both as a journalist and in the Wimberley community.
“Teresa has quickly shown she understands what a community newspaper is supposed to look like,” Publisher Dalton Sweat said. “Her ties in the community, after years of volunteering here, have really given her the right perspective of what we want the Wimberley View to look like. I’m really excited to see the direction she takes the newspaper as she models it into her vision.”
Kendrick studied at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University and later earned a second degree in Interior Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. She was the public relations officer for Laguna Gloria Art Museum in Austin before accepting a marketing position near Guadalajara, Mexico, where she lived for fifteen years.
For a number of years, she wrote a bylined arts column for the Guadalajara Reporter, the largest English-language newspaper in the country. She relinquished that position to write a 300page reference book and guide to the Lake Chapala region of Jalisco. She has been an active freelance writer, publicist and marketer for a number of organizations. In 2006 and 2007 she co-organized relief efforts in Texas to support Mexican museum-level folk artists and served for years on the board of Austin Friends of Folk Art.
She began volunteer work with the Wimberley Players in 2008 and later served on its board for seven years. From 2020-2022 she was the publicist for the Wimberley Community Civic Club. She currently lives in Buda with husband Guy Ben-Moshe and keeps up with family in Hawaii, Australia and Israel.
