Lorelei’s scholarly work has been focused on mathematics education, leadership, experiential learning and high-impact educational strategies.

When Lorelei isn’t teaching you may find her mountain biking, canyoneering in Utah, exploring archaeology or camping in the mountains. She loves cooking and is also the co-author of the best-selling book series, The Big Cook and The Big Cook 2 cookbooks.
