Lori Ann's Bio (as written by her):
My name is Lori Ann McQuillen. I go by Lori Ann.
I'm currently working for Jesus and LifeChanger’s Legacy as the ministry director/coordinator.
I intend to work with LifeChanger’s Legacy for the foreseeable future. It is my passion and the purpose I've been training for my whole life through experiences.. as well as, be around my family as much as possible and for as long as possible. I would like to continue growing and enjoying life.
My favorite things to do are be around my family - whether it be at the pool, at the house, in the backyard, at a party. I truly enjoy learning about Health and wellness, and then doing it. I love to learn about things that will make me healthier, and then doing them.
Honestly, my favorite thing to do is to read letters from the mentees that are in prison, and doing all the paperwork that is involved.
I also like to do puzzles with my daughters, and read inspiring books.
I have recently gotten my first vehicle of my very own and it’s a truck (which I have always wanted). New praise report!
