As a certified fitness professional, motivational speaker and newly crowned Ms. Tennessee Senior America 2025, Terry isn’t just embracing the spotlight—she’s using it to light the way for other women.

But her path to the crown wasn’t instant. It was built on four years of persistence, a deep-rooted passion for helping women thrive and the quiet strength that grows when you show up again and again—even when the answer is “not yet.”

“I’ve earned a lot of awards and trophies over the years,” Terry shares. “But the person I’ve become through this journey—that is my greatest achievement.”
