Learning to manage these two diagnoses simultaneously was challenging and solidified her desire to guide others through this process.

As someone who still swims on a weekly basis, Lily loves working with swimmers and other aquatic athletes. She has spent most of her time in collegiate athletics working with football players, but has worked with almost every Olympic sport as well, including baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, and even golf! Working with athletes who are both passionate about their sport and eager to learn about using nutrition to enhance their competitive advantage makes being a sports dietitian even more rewarding to Lily.
