Terri Handy is obsessed with finding a simpler, easier and faster way to do things. It can become tedious for those who live with her at times but, she figures “hey, they benefit so what’s the big deal? “ A reformed Coke Zero addict but still battling the hold M&M Peanuts have over her, Terri has never understood the appeal of coffee but don’t mess with the way she brews her Green Tea with Rose Petal. Most of her career has involved customer service in one form or another, with stints as a Motelier, Agency Owner and even a tiny dabble in recruitment before firmly finding her place in helping to implement positive change in the property management industry.
