History:
Clavel was raised in the rather small town area of Okemos. Her father was a physician and her mother an esteemed micro-biologist. From her earliest years they tried to nurture a love of the life sciences in Clavel and could never fully understand why their only daughter continued to stare up at the night sky and devour information about the cosmos. They gave in and on her sixth birthday gave her the best present she ever got, her first telescope.
Clavel continued her love for the darkness of space with a bachelors degree in astronomy from the University of Michigan (her father's alma mater), a masters from the University of California at Berkeley, and a doctorate from the Vulcan Science Academay.
After achieving her docotrate she could have had her pick of professorships but decided a dry career in academia was not what she santed. She wanted to be on the vanguard of astronomical discovery, so she applied to Starfleet Academy and was accepted.
She had an interesting time. Though rather old for a new cadet she allowed herself to have a good time. She graduated and served on such deep space stations as Deep Space Three and Deep Space Ten. She continued her work and received credit as the descoverer of certain unique bands of ultraviolet light the was admitted from burgeoning star systems. The chance to work on the Darwin was one she couldn't pass up.
 

Side Note: Clavel has a well trained amateur voice and has been very active in theater, musical theater, and opera. She was a member of the University of Michigan Gilbert and Sulliven Society, sang in supporting roles in La Boheme, La Traviata, and The Marriage of Figaro at UC-Berkeley, and learned much about Vulcan music at The Vulcan Science Academy.
