Biographical Information:

 

 
Photo of AmbassadorAs a child of the 60s, Lorrell grew up with the manned spaceflight program. She also grew up with wonderful planetary exploration missions, such as Mariner, Viking, Pioneer, and Voyager. In high school, Lorrell taught herself "backyard" astronomy while lying on a warm car hood with a flashlight and star-chart field guide. She is an educator with classroom experience and almost twenty years of work as a science/math editor for K-12 textbook publishing. Lorrell truly believes that learning is a lifetime adventure. And, as a member of this wonderful planet, she believes that one of the best ways to cherish and protect it is to learn about its unique place in our solar system as well as in our universe.
