She is highly engaged at all levels of teaching and learning, and has published peer-reviewed research based on her innovative pedagogical approaches. She has received College-level awards for her contributions to education, ANU Top Supervisor awards, and School-level student nominated awards.  Lorrae convenes two degree programs, is an experienced advisor to incoming students, and is a member of the CMBE Early Career Academic Development Committee.

She will consult widely throughout CMBE to connect her own experience of research, teaching and supervision with that of others across the College, and bring practical insights to Academic Board. Her goal is to foster a university-wide culture of continual improvement in academic practice, supported by enabling policy.
