Terri has a wealth of life experience and is an apt storyteller and motivator. Terri developed resilience and an understanding of human behaviour at an early age. Her memoir, 'There'd better be Oxy in that Christmas Bon Bon' takes us on a journey of that development. It seems logical that Terri would go on to study psychology, for which she has undergraduate and post-graduate degrees. Terri has a sound understanding of drug and alcohol issues in individuals and parental figures and how these issues affect children and families as a whole.
