About the class
I have patience with the learning process. Not having the background one might expect, I feel I have an advantage of teaching a class from a newer to guns students’ perspective. Being female, I understand different aspects when it comes to dressing while carrying concealed. I feel it’s important to give one on one attention, not fill as many seats as the room holds. Kent County Conservation League is a beautiful private range, surrounded by wilderness. The classroom is large and private, so the students feel very comfortable in my classroom.
