Hi, I’m Lily.
I am currently studying Magazine, News & Digital Journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications of Syracuse University. I work as a Design Editor at the Daily Orange, an independent newspaper in Syracuse, New York. In my spare time, I enjoy reading books by my favorite author, Joan Didion. In high school, I was the Chief Design Editor for our student newspaper, Tower, and also worked as Features Editor, Staff Writer, Social Media Manager, and Advertising Manager. I spent three years as a paid Student Journalist for The Highlands Current, a local newspaper in my hometown. I have interned at various news organizations, such as Retro Report and the Staten Island Advance/SILive.com.
