Meet the Team: Lily Franklin

Hey y’all! My name is Lily Franklin, and I am thrilled to be at the Greenville Chamber of Commerce for this fall of 2022 semester as the business advocacy intern. I am from Memphis, Tennessee but decided to study at Bob Jones University for my undergraduate degree. I am currently a senior Educational Studies major with a concentration in social services; however, I am actually graduating in December of 2022.

As an out-of-state student, the liveliness of Greenville initially attracted me to study here. It was not until I walked through downtown Greenville for the first time that I actually began to imagine living and studying here. I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with and advocate for the businesses that make this city and community such an awesome place to live. I look forward to learning as much as I possibly can about policy making and advocacy, as well as growing my general skills and knowledge in the workplace.
