I photograph events, performances, and the moments people want to remember.
Hi, I'm Lily —
here's what I do.
I'm a junior at Robbinsville High School. I spend a lot of my time with a camera — photographing sports, theater productions, community events, and everyday moments at school. I also do stage management for our school musical, help run the yearbook, and write and photograph for TAPinto.
Photography runs through almost everything I do. Right now I'm a photojournalism intern at TAPinto and the Sports Editor and photographer for the school yearbook. I've also worked freelance shoots and interned with Higher Up NJ, photographing live events. I got into sports photography originally because I wanted my teammates to have good photos, and it kind of grew from there.
In theater, I've spent three years doing stage management across seven productions — running tech rehearsals, calling cues, keeping the prompt book current, and communicating between the director, crew, and cast. I also wrote, filmed, and edited a 30-minute documentary of our spring musical, and I've directed. I really enjoy being part of a team and helping a production come together.

The Addams Family
behind the scenes.
A 30-minute documentary following the Robbinsville High School production of The Addams Family from auditions through opening night. I wrote, filmed, and edited the whole thing. I wanted to document the experience of putting on a show and give everyone involved — cast and crew — something to look back on, so I made sure to interview every single person who worked on it. A lot of the best moments happen backstage and in rehearsals, and I wanted to capture those too. The result captures not just the show, but why theater matters to the people who make it.
Writing and photojournalism.
The show, outside
the spotlight.
After The Outsiders closed, I created a hand-assembled photo book documenting the entire production — from first rehearsal to closing night. Every page was designed by hand: candid photographs, rehearsal moments, and behind-the-scenes snapshots that the audience never got to see.
All proceeds were donated to Developing Artists, a nonprofit that gives disadvantaged kids access to dance and acting lessons they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford.
Three years of
stage management.
When a show runs smoothly, most people never think about stage management — and that's usually a good sign. As stage manager, I'm responsible for the prompt book, calling cues, running tech rehearsals, keeping everyone on the same page, and making sure the whole production moves from first rehearsal to opening night without falling apart. Over three years and seven productions, I've learned a lot about communication, organization, and problem-solving under pressure. I also put together a mentorship and succession planning database so that future stage managers can build on what I learned rather than starting from scratch.

Presenting at the
state festival.
At the 2026 New Jersey Thespian Festival, I gave a solo presentation on “Stage Management” — covering the tools and systems I use to keep a production organized, including prompt books, cue sheets, and how communication works between the director, cast, and crew. I earned a Superior rating, the highest score at the festival.
What I Presented
I walked through the systems I use as a stage manager — how I build and maintain a prompt book, how cue sheets work, how I keep track of everything that needs to happen from first rehearsal to closing night, and how I communicate between the director, cast, and crew.
How It Went
I'd originally planned to co-present, but my partner had to drop out right before the festival. I had never presented solo in that kind of setting before, but I went ahead with it anyway. I ended up earning a Superior rating, which is the highest score at the festival, so I was really happy with how it turned out.
The Festival
The New Jersey Thespian Festival brings together students from across the state for performances, workshops, and individual events. I was inducted into the NJ Thespian Society in 2025 and received a Superior rating in Stage Management at the 2026 festival.
