Lai is a graduate of Penn High School and graduated from Indiana University South Bend with a degree in elementary education in 2005. She spent 10 years working at her church, followed by one year working at a bank, before she joined the Implementation Team at KFG team in the fall of 2017.
Lai was born and raised in the south but has called the Mishawaka area home for 20 years. Lai and her husband met on a double date, and though they were originally intended to be on the date with the other two people, that evening they could not be kept apart. Lai was immediately drawn to Paul’s sense of humor and positivity and Paul couldn’t take his eyes off Lai’s smile. They were married in 2000 and welcomed their amazing son, Bowen, that same year. The family considers themselves “snake rescuers” and has adopted three of these slithery creatures from homes that could no longer care for them. Their current boa constrictor, Lola, is an entertaining addition to the family. Lai and her family enjoy outdoor adventures, traveling just about anywhere, and attending theatrical productions both large and small!
