Instructor Terry

 As a Certified Nurse-Midwife for over ten years and a mother of three young children, my goals as an NRA Basic Pistol Instructor are to remove barriers, such as intimidation and stereotyping of women, and promote women's education and training with firearms, therefore empowering women in new and different ways. I bring a vast nursing and medical background to my role as a firearms instructor as a Registered Nurse, Doctor of Nursing Practice, and Certified Nurse-Midwife with current certifications in Basic Life Support, Neonatal Resuscitation, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support, and Tactical Combat Casualty Care. My desire is for women to feel comfortable, knowledgeable, and safe around firearms and to be able to confidently defend themselves and their loved ones should a critical moment arise.
