Her own non-profit organization, I AM Dreams With Wings, teaches critical life skills to at-risk teens. Lorelei also created the "Shellist Music Scholarship" at Mesa College in San Diego, which provides a full tuition for vocational students of music.
Whether it is hosting or emceeing an event, moderating a panel, leading a seminar or working one on one with a client as an Image Consultant, Fashion Consultant or Inner Beauty Empowerment Coach, it is Lorelei's fashion pedigree, coupled with her charismatic and compassionate personality that make her an invaluable resource.
