She has an appreciation for adapted aquatics, Qui Gong, relaxation/mindfulness, cognitive games, fitness, and expressive arts.

Terri herself has participated in a variety of sports, recreation, and creative arts throughout her life and desires to bring the same sense of expression, freedom, self-determination, well being, and joy she knows active recreation involvement brings to those she works with.

Additionally, Terri received her LLMSW from the University of Michigan in December 2011.
