Originally from Georgia, Tori received her bachelor’s degree at Radford University in Virginia where she competed on an equestrian team and studied psychology and exercise science. She worked as a private flight attendant and has traveled the globe giving herself a well-rounded perspective on the world and different cultures. Years after becoming a mother she became involved in a counseling practice that inspired her to go back to school to obtain her certificate in addiction and mental health counseling, receiving her CADC II. She is also continuing her education to become an Animal-Assisted therapist with a concentration in Equine Therapy (AAT), a therapeutic intervention that uses animals to help people with mental, physical, social, or emotional health conditions.
