With a collection of more than 300 books in various genres, she is constantly reading, which has helped widen her interest in and understanding of the world.

Although she loves creative writing and music, in college Lillie hopes to pursue a career in criminology, psychology, and criminal justice. She has always found the study 0f criminals very fascinating, whether it be from watching documentaries or reading up on the latest crime news. She is also planning on continuing writing in college, as she is not willing to give up a passion that she has had since she was in elementary school.
