"For me, the finest reward comes from a job well done," Lorrie Says. "It gives me the greatest sense of accomplishment." After obtaining her Associates Degree early on in respiratory therapy and working in the field successfully for several years, Lorrie switched directions and went back to school, this time for her marketing degree. Lorrie is the type of person who doesn't settle for second best, but rather pushes herself to exceed even her own expectations.
