Hi, I’m Lily. I’m one of three freshman liaisons in CSA this year and am very excited to be a part of this dynamic e-board group  Though I plan on affiliating with the department of Mechanical Engineering, I have many interests outside of engineering as well. Usually, you can find me chilling with friends, trying out new foods, or watching Asian dramas (or sometimes doing all three at the same time). A quirk about me is that I love exploring campus and finding beautiful study areas. Hit me up if need a buddy to study or eat with!
