I grew up in a hunting family and started shooting at a very young age. I feel fortunate to have been exposed to firearms and gun safety so young. I understand how uncomfortable and intimidating it can be as an adult to learn how to choose and use a firearm. I love working with women to teach them how to safely use and enjoy shooting and shooting sports. I have been teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense classes for over 20 years, and official firearms courses for the last 5. I am an NRA certified Chief Range Safety Officer and Basic Handgun Instructor. I am a USCCA certified Concealed Carry and Home Defense Instructor, Defensive Shooting Instructor, and AR-15 Fundamentals Instructor. I shoot regularly in USPCA and PCSL leagues. I also shoot in a Positional Rifle League and regularly shoot Steel Challenge.
