In 2019, she returned to her medical studies at the Warren Alpert School of Medicine where she completed  a scholarly concentration in caring for LGBTQ+ populations with a focus on the care of gender diverse individuals and issues of substance use and misuse in this population. Throughout her time at Brown, Lily worked with Rhode Island’s Spanish-speaking population through volunteering  at Clinica Esperanza, a free clinic serving Providence’s Latinx population and through her work for the Brown Human Rights Asylum Clinic. Her professional interests include caring for gender diverse patient populations, migrant health, and obstetrics.  In her free time, Lily enjoys long phone calls with friends, biking, and attempting to grow tomatoes.​
