Lily was a student in one of the last GIS cohorts I taught at Kingston University London around 2010. Today, 15yrs later and after forging a great geo-career in the UK, she joins the SoCal map factory. Small world! 🌍🌎🌏

My name is 3 letters long. Phonetically it's the same as it's spelt, and pronounced but I always spell it out anyway to avoid any possible confusion. I can't remember the last time I picked up a coffee for 'Ken' 🤦 I need a new coffee name. (Clean) Suggestions welcome.
