Teresa Rampulla, Founder and CEO of She Media NY and Marketing Director and Advertising Sales Manager of Ferry Ads, was destined to be a Staten Island businesswoman. Rampulla was born and raised in Staten Island, where she began her professional career. As a teenager, Rampulla interned at the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, where her mother, Amy Campbell, worked as Membership Director for almost twenty years.

“What I’ve learned about business, I’ve learned through the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce,” says Rampulla. “Over the summers, when I was out of school, my mother brought me to the Chamber, and there I learned how to talk to businesspeople. Someone would come to the counter and say something like, ‘Amy, I need to know how many Chamber members do heating and air conditioning services.’
