Terri Geerinck is a former college professor at Sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterborough, Ontario, with a background in social work, psychology, and education. Over a nearly 30-year career, she taught courses such as Introduction to Psychology before moving into curriculum and program design, developing more than 30 college programs. She has authored several textbooks in human relations and communication, and has mentored faculty and presented at conferences. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Education.

Before academia, Terri worked in social work with youth, including those on the autism spectrum, an experience that continues to shape her writing. She is the author of Island Curse, Gold Mine Curse, The Haunting, and Just Like You: Tim’s Story, the first in a series about neurodivergent children and inclusion. She also volunteers with Soroptimist International of the Americas (Peterborough Chapter), leading the Dream It, Be It program supporting youth in achieving their goals.
