Lori graduated from Purdue University with an Associate Veterinary Technology Degree in December 1983. With over 40 years in the
profession, she has been a Registered, Certified, and now Licensed Technician. She has worked in small animal practices in Indiana, Minnesota, Illinois, New Mexico, and Tennessee. Lori joined Brooklyn Park Pet Hospital for the first time in 2001 and enjoyed 17 years of service there. She and her husband moved to Tennessee in 2018 to be closer to family. In April of 2025, she retired from in-clinic work in
Tennessee to focus on being a grandmother. The opportunity to work remotely for Brooklyn Park Pet Hospital has been a great way to stay plugged into the veterinary world that she has loved for so long. When not working, she enjoys horseback riding, playing with her two Australian Shepherds, and of course cuddling her grandson.
