Pronouns: they/them/theirs
Meet Lee! Lee is a third -year student studying for a major in Public Relations and a minor in English with an emphasis on critical studies of literature and film. While at UW - Eau Claire, they have wanted to be involved in as many organizations working with literature, writing, and communications as they could, including their internship at the Center for Writing Excellence on campus, work at the regional literary journal Barstow & Grand, and as marketing director for the on-campus student literature journal NOTA.
Lee spends most of their time playing Dungeon & Dragons, drawing tarot cards, reading, and watching (or more reading about) film which led them to apply to be a part of this year's Q-Fest cohort. They hope to continue to work with and learn about film festivals, especially those that produce and uplift queer voices and perspectives.
