Lorraine Stofft
Lori Stofft has been hiking, paddling, and wandering across Arizona since birth. Hailing from Tucson, Lori brings passion to two cornerstones of democracy: a free press and public education. She spent the first part of her career getting ink on her clothes in marketing for a daily newspaper, and the past many years working to eliminate poverty in community college marketing, communications and advancement. An arts advocate, Lori has fiddled in country and folk bands for 25 years, and she co-produced a 16-year independent film series in rural Arizona. When she's not watching films or reading, she's writing poetry and fiction. She recently started section hiking the stunning Arizona Scenic Trail, because backpacking seems the ideal antidote to a hectic modern life.
