About Lilly and job interest

Since I was little, I have dreamed of travelling the world to document its people, places and cultures. Thankfully, I’ve had several opportunities to further this dream, from two separate occasions living in London, to travel in Slovenia, France and Italy. I know each new experience creates the potential for fresh knowledge. Growing up the daughter of a businessman with an art career on the side and a housewife-turned-crafting-guru, creativity was a central part of my upbringing. I’ve grown up using acrylic and watercolour paints, mixed media and even a plain old pencil to create something out of nothing. Since fourth grade, I’ve had a camera in my hand, documenting whatever I considered noteworthy or beautiful. Photojournalism is vital in that it helps people understand the world around them, but I don’t just approach photography from a journalistic perspective – my grounding in art helps me identify beautiful images and tell a more robust story about those I encounter. From writing daily content for Travel Weekly’s online publication to supervising staff to create a powerful city magazine in Birmingham, to shooting photographs of Nashville’s NFL franchise, I have had opportunities to develop my skill sets in a variety of professional settings. I pride myself on my ability to make friends out of strangers which helps me develop connections and sources. Telling someone’s story is an honour, and winning that person’s trust is crucial to telling her story well. My passion for storytelling has only grown as I’ve experienced more cultures and met more people. American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” I would be honoured to have my mind stretched by becoming your employee.
