Today, she serves as a Line Producer at BBC Studios, working on the network’s biggest children’s show.  Tune into Lilly’s episode as she shares her career journey, explains why patience and perseverance are key and how the ‘beg, borrow or steal’ mentality can help build the confidence to push forward!  🎭🎬
