I hired Lori because I was feeling stuck in my job and needed to find a career that was more rewarding, more challenging, and more suited to me. In the arts, it's difficult to find a job you enjoy that also pays enough to live on, but Lori helped me do just that!

As we worked together, Lori always helped give me that extra nudge when I was having trouble taking the next step toward success and acknowledged and applauded me when I accomplished something that I'd been struggling with.

Thanks to Lori, I got out of my 8-year rut at the same job and discovered a new career I love that brings me all of the things I want in a job--creativity, variety, challenge, learning, flexibility, teamwork, and cake. With no professional experience but a desire to learn, Lori helped me find ways to become a cake decorator--first on my own and then, eventually, at a reputable cake shop. Now, something I used to do just for fun has become something I make my living doing, and each workday flies by!
