Having performed in variety shows, churches and on stage since she was five years old, Lily hopes one day to have a career on Broadway. On any given day you’ll find her playing her favorite show-tunes on the piano, or singing and dancing to the full score from past and current Broadway hits, while whipping up amazingly healthy entrees and snacks in the family kitchen. After seeing the delicious salads and snacks Lily was bringing to school each day, friends began asking her to make their lunches as well. This was the beginning of Lily’s food business – even Lily’s teachers were interested in buying Lily’s fresh, organic creations. As a former Girl Scout, Lily has a continuing interest in applying her gifts to serving others. Her biggest dream: To serve as a chef or nutritionist by day and perform on Broadway by night! Her advice to other teens: Dream it today – LIVE it tomorrow!
