Hi there! My name is Lily and I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University! I studied Theater (specially Musical Theater and Theatre for Young Audiences) and I love all things Northwestern. Please come to me with all your Evanston campus related questions and I'd be happy to answer them (in song:).

Describe your college experience

Northwestern's student motto is "AND is in our DNA" and I definitely took that to heart my underclassman years. I tried a little bit of everything in college then found my passions by being selective with my time. I had some sort of transition every year (major​/​minor swaps, housing changes, friend group adjustments) so more than anything, I learned how to advocate for myself in a medium-large academic enviornment.

Tip for future students

Have no fear! Everyone is in the same boat, there's no need to be embarrassed to try a new sport, class or club from freshman-senior year. Even a seemingly "wrong" decision can lead you in the right direction.

Favorite class

Creative Drama. In this class, we learned how to teach theater to K-8th graders using generative play as a model. We got to go into the Evanston Public Schools and lead our lessons hands-on. This class solidified the path I would take for the rest of my college experience.

Career goals

Perform, travel, teach!

Ideal way to spend a free night

Just a 10 minute walk from northwestern's campus is the purple line which connects and leads you anywhere you want in the chicagoland area! I remember going to the NU Wrigley game every year and seeing a sea full of purple on the L.
