LMS Defense's Active Shooter course "I love the outdoors, animals, shooting, and hunting elk at my family's ranch. I really hope to bring a uniquely feminine viewpoint to an industry that until recently has mostly focused on the male perspective. I have a passion for learning & trying new things, and have plans for a lot more extra-curricular training. I enjoy using writing as a medium to share knowledge and experience with others and to expand my own knowledgebase.".
