Specialising in Dramaturgy while studying Drama and Theatre Arts at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, Terrie, followed a personal focused study into storytelling (taking full advantage of being just round the corner from the Scottish Storytelling Centre) for which she was awarded a First with Hons. Her academic career researching storytelling continued with studying a PhD in applied storytelling at Loughborough University, completed in 2021.

In 2012 Terrie became a Winston Churchill Fellow, and got the oppurtunity to travel across America and Canada to work with and be inspired by storytellers like; Csenge Zalka, Dale Jarvis, Dan Yashinsky, Jan Andrews, Jane Crouse, Jennifer Cayley, Judy Sima, Juidth Heineman, Karen Chace, Kevin Cordi, Marylyn Perringer, Molly Sutkaitis, Robert Greygrass, Ruthanne Edward, and Wavy Gravy.

Terrie’s career has led her to perform and lead workshops all over the world, and she creates her own original tales as well as researching and drawing from historical sources. These experiences have led to a broad repertoire of stories and projects which are being added to all the time as new challenges arise.
