About

Lori Gardner has been a staff author and editor at Whisker for 6+ years, and a cat mom for most of her life. She spends her days writing while two cats (and one toddler) vie for her lap.

Education

Bachelor of Arts, Professional Writing
Michigan State University

Experience

Lori has 14+ years of professional experience in marketing, strategy, writing, and editing in metro Detroit. She's been an animal lover since she could toddle and a pet parent since she could scoop a litter box. (Those days are done, thanks to Litter-Robot.) She has also fostered several sets of kittens; her youngest cat is a foster fail.
