Lori is experienced in the use of general life coaching techniques and utilizes Positive Psychology theory, and the GROW model in her practice. Additionally, she makes use of several individually tailored tools and evaluations based on her client’s needs and future objectives. Ultimately, her goal is to help individuals work on areas of their choosing that will bring more balance, happiness, and success into their lives.

Lori has previously worked for several industries including civil service, aerospace, publishing, and financial services as a human resources manager. Additionally, she also worked for 10 years for a non-profit as a program officer and grants manager for a charitable foundation that offered clients financial assistance and provided additional services through partnering with social services agencies.

She has previous experience as a recruiter, career and executive leadership coach, and corporate trainer working with all levels of clients for major corporations, independent businesses and local organizations.

Lori holds a B.A. in Sociology/ Psychology from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and an MBA with an emphasis in Human Resources Management from University of Phoenix.
