Although her degree from Penn State University reads “Architectural Engineering,” Terri discovered her love of Church Music back in the 90s when, as a young mother of three, she was asked to direct the Children’s Choir “because you play the piano, right?” Saying yes to that request morphed into directing, at one point, 7 handbell choirs and 4 vocal choirs.

Many years later, Terri and her husband Doug moved from New England to paradise which brought her to her current position as the Worship Ministry Director at St. James UMC in Sarasota.

Terri thoroughly enjoys being behind the table as a part of Ring Sarasota.
