Those skills and relationships directly contributed to her success as a communications specialist for the last seven years of her tenure. In August 2022, she joined the staff of the National School Public Relations Association, NSPRA, as their Manager of Professional Development and Member Engagement where she thrives on providing high-quality, relevant, and impactful learning opportunities for more than 2900 school communications professionals and other educational leaders. 
In her 25 years in school public relations, Terri has developed and executed numerous strategic communications programs and also has had a variety of experiences responding to issues she didn’t plan for, including school crisis situations and media storms. With communication being a priority in any crisis situation, she became the district’s crisis prevention coordinator in 2016, training on FEMA’s National Incident Management System (NIMS), becoming a ALICE certified instructor and engaging in other training and collaboration opportunities with first responders and their public information officers. When she took over that responsibility, her district had a crisis plan, but didn’t have a crisis communications plan. She knows what it’s like to respond to a crisis without a plan, and what it’s like to respond when your entire district understands their roles in a crisis.
