Hi! My name is Lily Scarlett, and I am a freshman in the Swanson School of Engineering. I am perusing a degree in Bioengineering, and a minor in Chemistry. In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking, and crafting. I have also recently started strength training, and it has become one of my favorite hobbies. I love all of the opportunities Pitt has provided these past two semesters, from exercise classes to plays and musicals; I have enjoyed expanding my horizons and trying everything I can! After I graduate, I hope to become involved in the field of cellular engineering.

I am really looking forward to Cyprus, I love traveling, but Cyprus will be a first for me. From a cultural standpoint, I am excited to learn more about the societal norms in the country, and how they differ from surrounding countries. I am also looking forward to experiencing the food and architecture in Cyprus. The business aspect of the country is also intriguing. Although I am an engineering major, I have always been interested in port operations, and I am excited for our port and ship management company visits. I know I will have a lot to learn on this trip, and I can’t wait!
