My Biography
I've been expanding my firearms experience since 2013 when I inherited my first firearm. Since then, I explored various firearms (trying a lot of different guns!) to find the right one for me and expand my collection. As I learned more, I found myself teaching my friends and family more about being a responsible gun owner and after earning my CCL, I continued my education with the CCHDF course and ultimately became an instructor.
I believe that education and practice are the keys to being a responsible gun owner and cater my classes to meet each students' needs. I've found that women often face unique challenges in living the armed lifestyle and enjoy working with female students to overcome those challenges.
I've also worked as a first responder since 2005, maintaining CPR/AED/First Aid certifications, including training hundreds of individuals in those skills.
I'm looking forward to working with you!
