Senior Lily Mirza has been a part of Tatler for three years and is thrilled to spend her last year on staff as an editor. Her summer was spent at St. Jude as a research intern and wishing that figure skating was a part of the summer Olympics. Some favorites of Lily’s are the colors red and purple, vegetable sushi and hummingbirds, which she hopes will be a future pet of hers. Speaking of the future, Lily hopes to become a doctor and one day travel to Pakistan. She is super excited to see and help the Tatler staff develop and improve during her last year as a staff member.
