Student

Elizabeth (Lily) Tucker is a sophomore at Winsor, and lives a transatlantic existence, moving between Belmont, MA and Oxford in the United Kingdom. Lily has an identical twin called Cordelia, who has been her best friend, (unwillingly or willingly, we’ll never know) since the womb. As a consequence, Lily has spent her childhood harbouring a deep passion for exploring the twin experience, especially in relation to identity and self-perception. Outside of school, Lily loves to read, listen to old-school hip-hop & indie rock, watch political documentaries, obsessively scroll on POLITICO and The New York Times, thrift, go to the gym, dance, travel, and attend concerts.
