About Me

Lilly Fender is the daughter of Aron and Colleen Fender. She is a senior at Mid-America Preparatory School in Herrick, Illinois. She is very involved with her church, Metro Community Church of Vandalia, where she holds various leadership positions and serves on several ministry teams.  She has a passion for worship ministry, youth ministry, and photography. She is the owner of Lilly Isabella Photography and plans to either continue her photography career after graduation, or to pursue a position in ministry.  “I decided to join the CEO program because I wish to improve my leadership skills as well as my confidence levels. I want to be challenged so I can grow into a much more well-rounded person who is more prepared for the future, whatever that may be for me. I look forward to having the opportunity to meet business leaders within our community and making connections within the business world to help further my career as a professional photographer.”
