Terra graduated from Alfred State College in New York in 2004 with an AAS degree in court reporting after attending online courses and began her career at Jeffries.  She has been an NCRA-certified Registered Professional Reporter since 2010.  Terra has been a freelance court reporter since 2005 and just recently, in January of 2024, began a part-time officialship for Judge Jennifer Lint in Hamilton.   She moved to the beautiful Bitterroot Valley in 1994 to be close to her mom, best friend, and mentor, Debi Meredith, who, after years of trying to talk Terra into following in her shoes and becoming a court reporter, finally prevailed. Terra is one half of JCR’s famous mother/daughter team. Terra served two years as vice president and three years as president of the Montana Court Reporters Association, from 2018 through 2022.  She has one son name Ryan and an adorable grandson, Walker, who both live in Wyoming.  Her hobbies include walking her two dogs Jackson and Tucker, kayaking on Lake Como, working in her yard, and traveling around the world.
