Pro Bono Consultant

I believe one of the best ways to create change for a company is to improve its written communication. In today’s business world, almost all interaction starts by viewing some form of writing – internal/external emails, reports, web content, blogs and even hashtags. Engaging customers through the written word has the potential to create a positive or negative impact. My role at ORI allows me to create and tailor content for a variety of audiences; helping to ensure that ORI's customers have a positive experience. I help ORI elevate its brand, tailor its messaging and create an engaging, lasting impression– all by using the written word.

Teaching You How to Grow Money That Makes an Impact

Hi! I’m Lorelei - a financial consultant for women like you.

🙌 Women who are ready to relate to their money differently.

🙌 Women who are curious about creating a life with more peace, more joy AND more money.

🙌 Women who desire to amplify their impact by using their extra resources to create more good in the world.

After working as a Strategy & Operations Consultant for a Big 4 Management Consulting Company, I know just how powerful having a well-defined strategy can be on an organization’s or individual’s growth and performance.

But that strategy has to work for you — it has to represent your values, your priorities, and your reality.

The current strategies women are given to grow their money don’t work for many of us because we want a different relationship with our money. 

I experienced this firsthand: after years of a thriving career and financial success, I finally had enough money to cover my needs and many of my wants. I felt like I had “made it” financially. I looked around and was told that I needed a nicer wardrobe, a better car, a bigger house, luxury vacations, finer jewelry. 

I didn’t want any of those things. And that’s the exact moment I lost any interest in my money. Being with my money became a chore, a hassle, something that I put off doing because I felt overwhelmed. 

Over time, rather than exerting more power and control over my money, I began to change my relationship with it instead. As I began to treat my money with love and respect, I experienced more joy, more peace, a greater sense of empowerment, and even excitement when I realized the impact money could have on my life and the people around me. I knew this new kind of money relationship was something I wanted to share with the world.

I created the Invest Better to help you feel confident, encouraged, and equipped with the skills you need to grow your money.

In working with Invest Better, you’ll learn how to:

(1) Make more money without the hustle.

(2) Protect and grow the money you have.

(3) Give your money in a way that amplifies your impact.
