She completed her Bachelor of Music Performance in 1993 and her Masters in Music Performance in 1996. Upon graduation she was offered the vocal music position at Seward County Community College in Liberal, Kansas. She spent thirteen years at Seward County with her choirs earning the honor to travel to Carnegie Hall in New York City, to Salt Lake City and the Mormon Tabernacle and to Victoria Island, British Columbia. Her Sound Express Show Choir traveled to Branson, Missouri and performed in various theaters. She was also choir director at the First Christian Church in Liberal. Lori spent much of her free time teaching private voice lessons. Lori moved back to Oklahoma with the goal of working on her doctorate. She was hired at Marlow Public Schools to teach high school and junior high music, where she developed very successful programs. Her desire to also attend Oklahoma University and work on her doctorate was denied due to health problems. Lori dedicated her life’s work to helping others discover the joy of music, and she truly loved her students.
