In 2015 Lorena then joined the travel insurance industry as Network and Cost Containment Assistant at CEGA Group where she processed and negotiated invoices for international Health Providers, while making use of her multilingual skills.

From 2019 Lorena worked for Chiltern Maritime Ltd as a Training Officer and over the next three years she gained experience in all aspects of Officer Cadet management, with responsibility for managing over 100 cadets on behalf of several Merchant Navy companies.
