Lucille is a sophomore hoping to complete a double major in French and geology. Besides staring at rocks and quoting Molière, she enjoys hiking and making use of the green space provided by the Arb, skating and playing goalie for the women’s hockey team in the winter, and taking advantage of her role as an RA to bake various treats for her residents. She hopes to connect students who are feeling uncertain about the future with alumni who are living proof of all that it can hold even when living with LGBTQIA+ identities which might seem insurmountable in the moment. On campus, she’s recently been investigating some of the intersections between LGBTQIA+ identities and sports, specifically how to open up the door for trans participation at the club level.
