Theresa “Terrie” Montgomery had a 38-year career in public relations, human services, accounting, project management, sales, and customer service.  Her proudest accomplishment was achieved as an woman entrepreneur where she had an established business in financial services and client roster whom she served over many years despite the growing competitive landscape. Since leaving the workforce in 2015 after being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 58, Terrie has kept herself active and productive by volunteering as a dementia advocate, speaker and writer. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Human Resource Management, Judson University, Elgin, IL. Her personal motto?  "If you believe you can, you might.  If you know you can, you will."
