Refugee Services of Texas was founded in 1978 as a social-service agency seeking to welcome refugees and other displaced people to Texas and support them in integrating and thriving in their new communities. Guided by the principles of human dignity and compassion, RST has welcomed hundreds of refugees, asylees, and victims of human trafficking to Dallas through providing core services of resettlement case management, employment services, intensive case management, and legal aid.

Lily completed her undergraduate degree at Baylor University in International Studies with an emphasis in the Middle East. After graduating, she interned at the International Rescue Committee Dallas alongside the Case Managers handling the first ninety days of the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program. In the summer of 2016, Lily moved to the Middle East to work at an NGO as a Community Development Liaison in the surrounding area of the Za'atari Refugee Camp. Currently at Refugee Services of Texas, Lily works to connect the Dallas community to RST in order to make Dallas a welcoming and safe city for our new neighbors.
