Terri Ann Palumbo
Producer

After two years with "America's Most Wanted", Terri was asked by WABC in New York to join the team of "New York Non-Stop", the show that everyone watched to plan for their Manhattan week ahead, and later, to produce and write specials for the flagship station such as "Above And Beyond", about a group of exceptional high school students, "Operation 7: Save A Life", about firefighters and personal safety (for which she won a NY Emmy Award), "GospelFest" (for which she won two NY Emmy Awards), and "Protect Our Children" (another NY Emmy), which dealt with child protection issues. At some point, Terri went cold. Not creatively or personally, just physically, and so she moved back to Florida again. While ping-ponging between New York and Florida (New York for work, Florida for life), she was hired to produce a series about animals, which led her to profile a small pet supply boutique in historic downtown Fort Pierce, Florida. Another circle met when, in 2004, Terri decided that it was time to take a break from travel and return to her roots (retail and wholesale, the industries in which she grew up) for a while. She bought that boutique and has made it a success, both online and in brick-and-mortar incarnations; and, while doing that, she's writing her first non-fiction book (a true crime story), collaborating on television projects and generally living life on her terms, happily multi-tasking with Court TV, C-Span and "Law And Order" playing in the background. "This group feels like home to me", Terri says. "Free thinking, passionate voices with the talents and abilities to back up a vision; endlessly curious vitality and the smart kind of fearlessness that only comes with maturity and life experience; a blindness to boundaries (except when it comes to good taste); cooperative, spirited discourse and mutual support–– those are the elements that are most familiar to me, from my earliest memories. This is the way 'work' is supposed to work–– and this team sees the terms 'work', 'life', 'love', 'purpose' and 'joy' as interchangeable. When you have a group such as this, magic, important, life- and thought-changing magic, happens".
