Terri began her modeling career as a grandmother over twenty-seven years ago after answering an ad for a full-time fit model at LANE BRYANT Corporate, in Columbus, Ohio. At Lane Bryant, there were national fashion show productions, sales training videos and her body was made into a mannequin and distributed all over the world.
