After several years singing with the Disney a cappella group, Voices of Liberty, she toured the world singing on Crystal Cruise Lines, which afforded her the opportunity to visit all 7 continents.  In Los Angeles, her private voice and piano studio flourished, and she developed a consortium of teachers, dedicated to developing healthy vocal production in singers of all ages.

Lori’s formal education includes a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education from Florida State University and post-baccalaureate work in Vocal Pedagogy.

Her students consistently receive superior ratings at district, state, regional, and national contests, are regularly accepted into and receive sizable scholarships from highly respected college music and theater programs (San Francisco Conservatory, NYU, UCLA, USC, Berklee, Yale, University of Michigan, etc.).  Many have gone on to perform on- and off-Broadway, and grace some of the world's most prestigious stages.
