Howdy y’all! My Firearms journey commenced on a sunny 4th of July in 2016. Fast forward into recent years, my passion for instructing was birthed in January of 2022. 

Being a dedicated firearms instructor, I specialize in empowering women through expert training for concealed carry permits. With a focus on personalized instruction, I am committed to enhancing confidence, proficiency, and situational awareness. Passionate about creating a supportive environment, I strive to equip students with the skills needed for responsible and secure concealed carry. Your safety is my priority.

Through personalized instruction, I work closely with each individual to ensure they not only meet the necessary requirements for a concealed carry permit but also develop a deep understanding of firearm safety, marksmanship, and self-defense strategies.
