Lilith graduated from UWM Peck School of the Arts with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, specializing in Opera. Her passion for music led her to participate in the UWM Opera productions nearly every semester, improving her craft and stage presence. She also founded the "Community of Creative Arts" student organization, which strives to diversify the arts for students and the community by creating a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, she served as the Diversity and Inclusion Director for the Student Association and interned at the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center. Lilith offered that, “these roles expanded my perspective on the intersection of arts, leadership, and entrepreneurship.”

All these experiences culminated Lilith founding a start-up, ArtsConnect, in December 2022. ArtsConnect is an innovative app designed to connect young creative talent with job and networking opportunities. Currently, as the CEO and Founder of ArtsConnect, Lilith is focused on securing the first round of investments and expanding the app’s reach. Additionally, this fall Lilith will begin her master’s degree in Global Entertainment and Music Business at Berklee College of Music’s Valencia campus in Spain.
She offered this advice to current students, “Be courageous and pursue what truly inspires you. It’s easy to fall into preconceived notions of what an artist should be, but the beauty of being a creative is the freedom to defy the status quo. Don’t be afraid to carve your own path. Also, take advantage of the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center. Learning to set up an LLC or work as a freelancer. This can empower you and lay a solid foundation for your future.”
Learn more about Lilith's work through the ArtsConnect app, which may help you find professional opportunities to put your creative practice to work!
