Lori grew up in Orange County. California and found her way to Greensboro in 2019. After a debilitating car accident with a drunk driver at age 16, questions were stimulated as to the purpose of life. Shortly thereafter her heart, and strong desire, led her to Loma Linda University (LLU) to pursue a career in Physical Therapy. LLU, known for its international Christian and medical education programs, began influencing her life to reach out to others on medical missions. Her dream came true 20 years later when she was able to go and help others in different parts of the world. Treating patients has really facilitated her desire to strengthen her patients with love and time in order to encourage a healthy life style.
