Lori Davidson
Lori began her career at Aurum Studios at twenty-one, spending ten years as Store Manager under Aurum Studios Founder Tricia Ruppersburg.
After fifteen years in medical sales, Lori returned to Aurum in 2022 as owner, eager to keep this special place alive after Tricia’s retirement.
Guided by Tricia’s mentorship, she’s proud to serve a new generation of Athenians.
When she’s not at work, Lori loves spending time with her two children and browsing antique shops for unique finds.
