Lillygol is a National Geographic Explorer and Multimedia Storyteller at the intersection of science, systems, and people. Her work includes documenting National Geographic’s first women-led Sea to Source Ganges River Plastics Expedition, and Taiwan's waste management system and plastics recycling as a Fulbright - National Geographic Digital Storytelling Fellow. With her stories, Lillygol aims to make science accessible to the greater public and spark the realization that every choice we make affects the environment. Using infographics, music videos, maps, and photo essays to promote environmental education, she hopes to transform people’s perceptions of trash from something disposable to something valuable. An active spokesperson for National Geographic’s global Planet or Plastic? campaign, in late 2020 Lillygol will build one of the first visual databases of circular economy initiatives in Taiwan as a part of a National Geographic Early Career Storytelling grant.
