Terry is active in her community, including volunteering with Upward Basketball, the YMCA, Latin Flavor Ent, Boys and Girls Club, Women’s Basketball Mentor Program, Joy Prom, and the Annual Cullowhee Valley Festival in North Carolina.

A four-year member of the Winston-Salem State women’s basketball team, Terry earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology, while earning a minor in sociology in 2008.
