Being a firearm training ambassador as a female is such an important role. It’s all about empowering and educating others about firearm safety. I want to inspire other women to feel confident and knowledgeable when it comes to firearms. Plus, breaking stereotypes and paving the way for more inclusivity in the industry is always something worth striving for!

I want to be an ambassador for OPT because as a mother and bartender I never know what’s going to come my way. Safety for my kids and myself is what’s most important to me and with today’s society it’s getting a little scary out there. I want to show my kids and other women that it’s okay to be strong and protect to protect yourself.
