Lily Myszak, News Editor

Lily Myszak is a senior at DGS and a Video News Director for Blueprint. Often lost in thought, she is most comfortable when alone or in the company of close friends where she can ponder aloud. Her podcast “Women in the Workplace” won a Best of SNO award in 2020.

As an early-blooming cat lady, Myszak’s cat Sunday is her favorite snuggle buddy and the two can often be heard meowing back and forth with each other. It’s not that weird.

Myszak has an affinity for the classic Crocs and socks combo, though she understands that socks and sandals are not everyone’s cup of tea. It doesn’t bother her. With graduation on the not-so-distant horizon, Lily hopes to be on her way to a four-year university by the fall of 2022.
