At Cardozo Law, Lori reviewed and evaluated law school applications, coordinated admissions decisions, and counseled prospective and admitted students on program requirements, financial aid, and enrollment logistics. This experience gave her a fundamental understanding of how applications are read and what admissions committees value when making decisions. After working in admissions, Lori transitioned into educational mentorship and nonprofit program leadership, where she discovered her passion for one-on-one student guidance. Currently, Lori serves as a mentor with an Atlanta educational nonprofit, working closely with first-generation college-bound students. In this role, she provides individualized advising on college and scholarship applications, essay development, financial aid forms, and application timelines.
As an advisor, Lori is known for her calm, structured, and student-centered approach. She excels at helping students organize complex application processes, refine their personal narratives, and articulate their goals with authenticity and purpose. Her strong foundation in writing and storytelling, paired with her legal training, shapes her practical and clear approach to advising students. Drawing on her admissions background and legal training, Lori helps students develop essays and applications that are both compelling and strategic, while building the confidence needed to navigate competitive academic admissions.
Outside of advising, Lori enjoys reading, testing her knowledge at trivia, solving crosswords, playing Mahjong, rooting for the Texas Longhorns and taking her miniature schnauzer, Shelby, for long walks.
