Chronic Illness Advocate
ME/CFS and Long Covid
After being nearly bedridden for 3 years with ME/CFS, Lili began their advocacy journey with Solve M.E.'s Community Advisory Council. This was soon followed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and Lili's work shifted to the Long Covid Alliance, where she served as co-lead for the Media, Awareness, and Storytelling working group.
Science and Healthcare
Pre-Med Student
With a love of science and people, Lili is hoping to become a primary care physician. Inspired by the years she personally spent bedridden due to chronic illness, Lili hopes to be the first step in a patient’s chronic illness journey. Though she earned an M.A. Communications at Stanford University, she was also that nerdy kid who put random things under a microscope in her free time. Lili has studied Spanish (10 yrs) and Mandarin (3 yrs), which they hope to utilize to treat under-served patient populations in Southern California.
Nursing Station Volunteer at Huntington Hospital
Miscellaneous
Music, Painting, Languages
MUSIC: Lili has trained in classical piano (8 yrs) and violin (6 yrs). She has more recently taught herself to play the ukulele and flute, and is working on the guitar.
​
PAINTING: Lili enjoys painting for the fun of it. Just as with music, they find that art lulls them into that flow state.
​
LANGUAGES: Lili loves languages, particularly grammars and psycholinguistics. She has studied Spanish for over 10 years, Mandarin for 3 years, has passed Duolingo in French, and teaches Klingon on social media (with the blessing of Marc Okrand, the creator of the language!).
