Terrie was born into a devout and loving Catholic family that encountered many challenges; Terrie’s father died before Terrie was 3 and her mother died when Terrie was 13.  Terrie’s parents, maternal grandparents, paternal uncles and step-parents all had a very significant role in her development and provided a stable environment.  Terrie’s upbringing helped her to develop the skill of viewing situations from a variety of perspectives.  This upbringing also helped to develop an understanding of the beauty in diversity.

Terrie’s family had a deep social conscience and would routinely provide support to those in need.  This environment set the stage for Terrie’s career as a psychologist and special education consultant/coordinator.  Terrie has worked in both the health and education sectors and has been on several boards and committees.  Terrie’s most recent involvement was co-chairing a committee to help two Syrian refugee families become part of the Regina community.  This was an incredibly important endeavour and Terrie’s life was enriched by this involvement.
