Lori Gross' passion for travel and science education has enabled her to visit and teach in some of the most beautiful places around the world. Lori graduated with honors from Trinity College in Hartford , Connecticut with a self-designed degree in Environmental Science and Policy. While studying in Baja , Mexico with The School for Field Studies, Lori decided to dedicate her life to experiential education and sharing her love for the natural world with others. Her thesis on the impact of eco-tourism on marine mammal behavior taught her that there are many perspectives to every environmental issue.

For over ten years, Lori has worked in marine and environmental science experiential education for organizations including: Island Institute, Lee Middle School , Visions International, The Newfound Harbor Marine Institute, Whale Camp and the Curacao Sea Aquarium. In 2001, she founded Creative Education, a non-profit organization that provides unique opportunities for students to explore the culture and ecology of some of the most fascinating locations in the Western Hemisphere.

In addition to directing Creative Education, Lori consults for magnet schools around the country in the design, implementation and evaluation of their thematic programs. She also works as a naturalist with Clipper Cruise Line. More information about her travels can be found on the Expeditions page.
