LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilyntran
Lily graduated from UC Irvine with a degree in Chemical Engineering (and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship) and is currently working as a Process Development scientist for a cell and gene therapy company located 30 min away from Boston. She grew up in Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam before coming to America at the age of 16 to study abroad in sunny Southern California. She moved to Cambridge in 2021 thanks to a job provision which gave her the opportunity to help start Reclaimer College Church. She is eager to meet many incoming international students like her who were trying to find a home away from home and figure out the most important questions about the meanings and purpose of life. During her free time, she loves playing basketball, biking with friends and don't be surprised if you ever find her chilling and reading books in her hammock next to Charles River.
