Welcome!
I'm Lily Shi, Editor-in-Chief of Harker Aquila, the student-run news site of the Harker School.
About Me
Over the past four years, journalism has shaped my life in ways I never imagined.
From starting out as a new reporter to serving as Editor-in-Chief, I've learned to lead under pressure, innovate, and collaborate with a team of people I deeply admire. Most importantly, it’s helped me understand what journalism truly means to me: the opportunity to inform, connect, and create a community. Our publications can spark conversation on issues that matter and tell stories that bring people from all backgrounds together.
This portfolio is a reflection of that commitment, of how I use journalism to bring people together and help them better understand the world around them.
