Lori joined the WSCA in 2001 as Lobbyist and Membership Director. In 2003, Lori assumed the Executive Director duties while continuing to maintain her lobbying responsibilities. She has passed historical legislation in Washington for the chiropractic profession. Lori has a vast background of experience in both health care policy and lobbying. She has worked in many different capacities, including as a private practice massage therapist, a national board member for the American Massage Therapy Association, passing legislation in other states for the massage therapy profession, a health policy advisor at the Office of the Insurance Commissioner, testifying before the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and legislative and policy positions for her labor union since 1981. In 2018 Lori chose to focus her energy back into chiropractic policy and stepped out of the Executive Director position. She is excited to return to working with the WSCA as their Executive of Legislation and Policy. Lori continues to put chiropractic first in most everything she does. She is an avid cyclist, loves traveling to Italy, and lives in Tacoma with her husband, Bryan, and her cat, Ruby.
