Lily began working at JMU in the summer of 2025, following her work for the Town of Grottoes with Grand Caverns where she organized fieldtrips, interpretive tours inside the cave, and special events. She draws on her experiences to assist in both program development and in administrative duties, and values the STEM Center's mission to better both Harrisonburg and JMU. Lily graduated from JMU in 2022 with a degree in Earth Science with a minor in Theatre and looks to pursue a masters program at JMU in the near future.
