"I have put up and performed multiple improv comedy shows, keynote speeches, and seminars on "Improv Team Building," "Humor and Healing," and more."
A remarkable thing about Terry is that she has numerous television and film credits. She’s a former member of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Film and Television unions.

Terry is honored to have the dubious distinction of being crowned the first "Miss Haight-Ashbury," a historic San Francisco distinction. She is someone who likes exploring and trying everything.
"I have drawn and painted throughout my life, and currently, I am focused on introducing my art to a broader audience."
"What makes me stand out is my art, which complements my personality. My comedic core infuses all my art, where my characters appear in imaginative locations and situations. I am greatly influenced by the works of Chagall, Matisse, Henry Moore, Picasso, and Calder."
Talking about her approach, it is quite versatile, but she still prefers certain media over others. Her favorite media include pen and ink, watercolor, acrylics, wire, charcoal, and ceramics. Using these, she can produce fabulous art.

Her parents invested in artists, both famous and emerging. Art books filled the shelves. Art supplies abounded, and the kitchen table was a center of constant creative projects.
