If community service were a gene, Terri inherited it. Because it’s in her blood, passed down from generations before her who had an unrelenting need to give to others.
Like the time her grandparents orchestrated a church raising in their neighborhood when their community desperately needed one. And, then, after that church burned in a fire, when her father mobilized the community to rebuild it. Her childhood home became a respite for traveling priests, with Terri’s parents welcoming them in with a spirit of hospitality and kindness. Her mother serves as a member of the Parish Council today.
But Terri’s love of service isn’t something she just passively inherited. It’s active in the fabric of everything she sets out to do. Her love of service has produced a life of accomplishments bigger than her – those that have helped shatter stereotypes, shake up institutions and change the course of human lives.
Terri believes leaders turn moments into movements. In less than four decades on earth, Terri counts the following moments as movements that she’s been a part of, championed or accepted as her own. Each has defined her as a leader.
