When Terri moved to Rochester 13 years ago, she looked to Rochester Women magazine to find connections. Because she works as a nonprofit consultant and coach, helping women find balance, connection and purpose, she knew how important those connections would be for her.

When she is not working, she enjoys looking for seashells, dancing and snuggling her dogs.
