Hello! My name is Lily Hester and my pronouns are They/She. I am the Stanley Campus Council Intern for the Stanley Museum. 

I am a fourth-year undergrad majoring in Anthropology and double minoring in African American Studies and Gender Women Sexuality Studies. I will graduate in the Spring of 2023 and hope to move to Chicago for grad school and hopefully continue my museum work.

I am from Olathe, Kansas (a suburb of Kansas City), and grew up exploring museums and fell in love with the idea of working in one. I am queer and multiracial and spent the last three years working through MISSE in order to create spaces and events for students and the community who hold marginalized identities. I am excited to be shifting my focus onto artists within my communities and creating events and projects that allow the Iowa City community to feel what I felt my first time stepping into a museum.
