I am a Fourth year at UCI double majoring in Criminology, Law and Society and Chicano/Latino Studies with a minor in Civic and Community Engagement.

Hello! My name is Lilian Lee and I am the Program Committee Chair of Against All the O.D.D.S.. I am a fourth year Public Health Sciences major planning to go to medical school with an interest in cardiology because of my family history with inherited heart disease. When I first heard of this club, I thought of my major, my career interest and how I could possibly help the unfortunates while being an undergraduate student here at UC Irvine. As a Public Health major, I learned a lot on how to use preventive strategies to reduce human diseases. As of now, I am working under Dr. Hughes’s Immunology Lab as an undergraduate student assisting their research on cancer drugs. I am currently working at Yamaha Music Center as a receptionist and a piano practice partner. Other than playing piano, one of my hobbies is to sleep. I can honestly fall asleep anywhere and anytime. I love music, anime, and cats! Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the programs in our club!
