Lori co-founded the new Women’s Ideas and Strategies Exchange (WISE) program, a mentorship program that brings Kokosing female team members together to share experiences and knowledge for personal growth and professional transformation. Lori is looking forward to the further development of the program, and the addition of a camp for middle schoolers next summer focused on peaking interest in construction careers.
Lori lives in Westerville, with her husband Morgan and has two children: Taylor, who is 11; and, Samantha, who is 2. She is affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
