Hello, I'm Lily! I'm currently in my third year as a humanities student at the University of Toronto, and I double major in English and Book & Media Studies.
Writing has long been my main strength and greatest love - I've had my original writing published in the Toronto Public Library's Young Voices magazine and the Polar Expressions Youth Anthology, and I was one of 10 national finalists in CBC's "The First Page" contest in 2019. As a creative, passionate individual who always welcomes new opportunities to hone my skills, I'm capable of strong communication and innovative thinking, and I bring an open, imaginative mind to the table no matter what challenges I find myself confronted with.
Samples of my writing can be found under my personal projects. I'm also familiar with using Canva and Microsoft Office, and I'm fluent in reading, writing, and speaking Mandarin Chinese.
