Meet Our Founder

Lilly is a social work graduate student at the University of Southern California and the founder of Beyond The Box Advocacy. As a disability advocate with lived experience, she knows firsthand the barriers people face in healthcare, education, and social systems.

She started Beyond The Box Advocacy to turn those challenges into action with a focus on enforced barriers. Her work blends advocacy, consulting, and systems change, always centering human dignity.

Lilly’s mission is to uncover the barriers that often go unspoken and create real access so people with disabilities can live beyond the limits society places on them.
