Lori Finnila

I lost a daughter due to an illegal abortion when I
was 17 which bears on me everyday. I married, divorced. Ran to NY to model. She worked at Fortune 500 companies at the World Trade Center, Wall Street, and Rockefeller Plaza. She had some training in Boston. She attended part-time at Emerson College in Boston. She attended Weist Barron's Workshop for commercials. She also received a certificate for make-up artistry at the Elizabeth Grady School of Esthetician. She briefly took jazz and ballet. She has posed for photographers and done commercials and extra work in a movie.

In 1990 she suffered from hypoxic encepalopathi from anesthia during a routine surgical procedure. Further complications down the road due to unknown prescription drugs that kept somehow entering her system. Later went into a coma after childbirth due to many factors, exhaustion, more over use of presciption drugs being administered to her, and physical duress due to domestic violence as well in the hospital. Ran again from domestic violence. Picked herself up again to write and publish a book and finishing another story on domestic violence and trying to bring attention to it.

The entertainment/modeling industry was always kind to her. It's just that bad things were always happening to her along the way that prevented her from following through.

Feeling sad and alone at times. The difficult changes I had to go through at these times.
