**Leader: Loriann Hamelwright (Mesa, AZ) ** Email: lorihamelwright@gmail.com Hi everyone! I am excited to be joining Lifebushido as a Key Assistant. I currently teach piano lessons and previously worked in the Financial Services industry. Given my background, I believe I would be an effective leader from a business and a creative standpoint. I am looking for team members who really want to make a difference in their lives and their careers at Lifebushido. I believe we can all make a difference, especially as we help each other. Come join my team! **What Animal Am I?** I'm an Enterprising Crocodile **RPI?** Charismatic Optimist **What's My Perfect Job?** My perfect job would allow me opportunities for growth as well as flexibility with my family. I would be able to work part-time and increase hours as I go along. I would like to be able to go on vacation without scheduling it 6 months in advance. The opportunity to manage, but still have a variety of tasks and not be on the phone all day, is important to me. I want to work hard but really enjoy what I am doing. I enjoy helping others achieve their goals and am driven to succeed. My perfect job would utilize these talents and more unique abilities I might discover along the way.

Working as a stay-at-home wife and home-schooling mother of 4 for the past 25 years has given me opportunity to invest my life in those closest to me. I have a wide variety of interests, including biking, home decorating, travelling occasionally, and learning new things! I have volunteered for many roles throughout the years, and am currently raising a black lab puppy for the Seeing Eye. Working with and learning new technology is also interesting to me. Looking forward to starting this Lifebushido experiment, and seeing what happens!

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">My perfect job would be one in which I could maintain the balance in my life without compromising the things that are important to me. It would ideally have flexible hours so that I could set my own schedule and work around the needs of my family. It would also challenge me to learn new skills and stimulate my mind. I would like know that the work that I am producing is valuable and useful to serving the good of the company.
