After two pivotal study abroad experiences in Germany during high school and to London during her undergraduate studies at Temple University, Lily made the decision to dedicate her career to promoting students to think and live globally through educational international experiences. Lily was an Arcadia Abroad Apprentice in 2014.
Prior to joining the Arcadia Abroad team in 2024, Lily held roles as a regional director and program manager for students traveling to programs in Asia and Oceania through The Education Abroad Network and Arava Institute. Much of her personal focus in international higher education has been on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice including building out informational resources for both educators and students.
In her free time, she enjoys trying new recipes in her kitchen, reading voraciously, tending to her many plants, and spending time exploring all Chicago has to offer.
