In 2012 Tresa Halbrooks launched LEGACY Consulting, PR & Events, a boutique firm based in Franklin, TN that focuses on clients ranging from professional athletes and entertainers to corporate entities, small business and non-profit organizations.

She’s coached some of the most well-known celebrities regarding their personal image, branding and philanthropy.  Her vision has been vital in shaping the overall image of hundreds of athletes across the country for two decades.

Prior to the launch of her company, she spent 11 years in the NFL – directing community and player relations.  She was not only responsible for the players’ image, public relations, community appearances, special events and foundation efforts, but also served as a team non-profit, community and league liaison. In fact, various NFL players credit her with giving them invaluable guidance that allowed them to become better men, often turning their image around so that they could become the overall athlete they wanted to be.

Prior to the NFL, she worked for one of the largest entertainment companies in the country at that time, Gaylord Entertainment Company and the retail giant, Service Merchandise, working closely with their CEOs on public relations, corporate image, various corporate events and philanthropy.

Tresa is an award-winning event producer and has played a role in some of Nashville’s most impressive public relations efforts and prestigious events.  She’s proud to have spent her career working with some of the most talented and illustrious personalities in the sports and entertainment field to make a difference in the lives of others.  It was the influence of her philanthropic efforts over the years and the importance of these celebrities and corporate entities to give back in order to create a legacy that led her to name her company.  Making a difference in the lives of others is what LEGACY stands for.

With a degree in Mass Communications and Journalism, it's no surprise that she is an author and freelance journalist.  She became a columnist and contributing writer for Nashville Lifestyles Magazine shortly after landing on the cover in 2003 and wrote a singles column “Single in the City” for eight years.  In 2009, she shared her personal story as a survivor of domestic violence, in the book Today I am the Person I Want to Be ~ Women's Stories of Success and Inspiration, published by the YWCA of Nashville.

She now has a lifestyle blog – Goal Posts - that is geared towards helping young professional women strive to be their best.  She says some of the most valuable lessons she’s learned about being an entrepreneur came from her time working in the NFL.  That sports-minded philosophy stayed with her as she built a successful business and her hope is to share her unique insights to help educate, encourage and inspire young professional women.

Her efforts have not gone unnoticed with awards that include the Brentwood’s Best in Business Awards for Event Planning and Production 2015 & 2016; Nashville Business Journal’s Top Forty Under 40 in 2011; Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Emerging Leaders Award in 2009; Nashville Business Journal’s Women of Influence Award in 2007 and the Tennessean’s Top 40 Under 40 in 2005. ​
