Lyssa Meritt loves to share her wonder and adoration of the Universe with people from all walks of life. Ever since peering into the heavens as a little girl with her father, Lyssa has been unable to tear her eyes away from the skies long enough to stop daydreaming of outer worlds and celestial vistas. A former planetarium educator, she is now currently pursuing a degree in planetary science. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, cooking, reading, and stargazing.
