Jennifer Dexter |
Jennifer Dexter and her husband moved to North Carolina from California in 2001 and they now live in Apex. She is a former elementary school teacher, but now has the privilege of being a stay at home mom to her 3 boys. She became involved with 3-D because she did not want to be vulnerable and unprepared while out by herself running the greenways and streets of Apex, or even just in a parking lots putting her groceries in her car. 3-D has given her more confidence in herself and has shown her the importance of being aware of her surroundings. 3-D has changed her way of thinking! After almost 2 years, she became a 3-D instructor in hopes to teach other women how to defend themselves, gain self confidence, and prevent them from becoming a victim. |

Melissa Chapman |
Melissa, a wife and mother of 1, joined 3-D in 2008 and quickly worked her way through the advancement levels. She proved that her passion for protection was a key ingredient for success, and was given the honor of becoming a trainer with 3-D. Her goal is to share that passion with the participants of 3-D. Along with her desire to inform others on the skills needed to protect themselves, she also volunteers many hours to some great causes; InfraGard working as the Deputy Sector Chief for Colleges and Education, an online child protect program called Wired Safety and a Risk Manager for Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority.
Melissa believes that she has a duty to help inform and protect those around her, and aspires to one day work in the law enforcement sector, with a specialization in Cyber Crimes.
Wise Words:
3-D gives women the understanding and the skills that are needed to protect themselves and their loved ones. It only takes 1 3-D class to get hooked, and it is by far the best program to get hooked on! You will walk away with a feeling of confidence and a desire to come back and learn more. The techniques are simple and easy to recall under stress and an added bonus is that the class and class participants is FUN too!
Hope to see you in the next class - TCB
