I volunteer a lot of my time encouraging women to empower themselves in the world of firearms and personal protection. Through education, I hope to promote more knowledgeable and safer communities filled with citizens capable of defending and protecting themselves. As an instructor I love teaching firearm safety, safe gun handling and the fundamentals. I specialize in new shooter familiarization, working to build confidence while minimizing fear and maximizing comfort in shooting. Though, I have a range of knowledge including how to re-train our mindset, situational awareness, youth training, and more. I offer a variety of classes, as well as private instruction designed for you and what you want to learn. As a certified NRA instructor and AWA Shooting Chapter Leader, I volunteer my time serving a community of women how to be their own defender and first responder. I love what I get to do!
