Lia Reichmann, senior, is well versed in anything to do with Friends, Harry Potter, and sports. She likes to go backpacking and taking photos (follow @liareichmann_photography on Instagram). If she isn’t at soccer practice or band you can catch Lia sitting on the couch on her phone. The most important people in her life are her three cats Tiger, Rosie, and Artemis. Many people compare her to Chandler Bing (no they don’t) because of her amazing sense of humor. You can reach her at [email protected].
