She is the Executive & Artistic Director at the Bronx Book Fair, is Founder/Executive Director & Artistic Director at Poets Network & Exchange, a global network of creative writers. She has studied and earned a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling (MHC) at the College of New Rochelle Graduate School. Lorraine also studied at the Gerontology College of New Rochelle Graduate School, as well as studying Psychology at the College of New Rochelle School of New Resources. Lastly, she studied Trade Union Women's Studies at the District Council 37/Cornell University. Whew! She has been one busy person!

Lorraine has used all the education she has obtained to offer workshops, community stages for budding writers and poets and even share her skills with senior citizens to promote that fact that creativity still remains within, no matter the age.

A delight to speak to with her flourishing positive vibes, take a listen to her two-part story of where she came from to where is going on her path of sharing and caring.
