What colleges have you attended?

Ah, the age-old question: “What colleges have you attended?” Well, my educational journey has been anything but ordinary. I’ve walked the hallowed halls of academia, sure, but some of my greatest lessons came from far less conventional sources. Let’s just say my alma maters include a mix of ivy-covered buildings, the school of hard knocks, and an ongoing graduate program in “Multitasking Under Pressure.” Spoiler alert: I’m summa cum laude in that one.

Some places handed me diplomas and certificates; others handed me a heavy dose of real-world wisdom. I’ve mastered crisis management while wrangling toddlers, aced time management while juggling work and family, and learned negotiation tactics that could rival any business major—thank you, teenage debates over curfews.

Formal education has been an important chapter, but it’s not the whole story. I’ve taken courses that fueled my passions, from creative endeavors to personal growth, but the most meaningful lessons rarely come with a GPA. My classroom? Wherever I’m curious. My favorite professors? Life, experience, and the occasional persistent challenge.

So, yes, I’ve attended college, but I like to think my most valuable degrees are the ones framed in grit, growth, and gratitude.

Hi! I’m Dorey Duncan Scott, a mother of three, wife and fashion entrepreneur. I started my career in fashion back in the early 90’s when I did print, still and runway modeling. I studied Fashion Merchandising, Music Business and Marketing, while also obtaining certificates in such industry-necessary areas such as make-up, styling and runway choreography. In addition, I had work as a spokesmodel for several brands, appearing in print and in person. As a former model, turned senior litigation paralegal, artist manager and on-air personality with a passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development, I bring a unique combination of style, strategic thinking, and legal expertise to my work. My years navigating the legal world have sharpened my attention to detail, while my experience and passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development drives my desire to help others feel empowered and help them in their journey toward self-empowerment. My experience in the fashion world has taught me the power of confidence.
