FEATURED AUTHOR
Lori R Heninger
Hello, and welcome to my page! I am a social worker who has had the opportunity to work in both US- and internationally-based organizations, in leadership and managing roles. I have experience in education, human, women's and child rights, youth health, international economics and advocacy. In my personal capacity, I make lampwork glass and punch-hook rugs, and I love to build stone patios and garden.
