Picture Counselor
A little about me!
​
Hello…  My name is Lori Mann and I am the new school counselor at Liza Jackson Preparatory School.  I was born and raised in Florida.  In 1992, I enlisted in the Air Force and became a Security Forces member and K-9 handler.  After completing my bachelor’s degree I was commissioned as an officer in the Air Force and worked in Munitions and Aircraft Maintenance.  I retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in Jan 2020.  I moved back to Florida and began a second career as a School Counselor.  I decided to become a counselor because I wanted to give back to our wonderful community and have a positive influence on the lives of children.  Niceville, Florida is now where I call home.  I enjoy being part of a great community, great school and absolutely love my job at Liza Jackson.

Education:
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Social Psychology from Park University in Parksville, Missouri in 2002.
In 2005, I graduated from Troy State in Troy, Alabama with a Master of Science degree in Counseling and Psychology.
