Lili Morton Producer
She has been with B.U.M. since April 2007. After graduating from Michigan State University with a Marketing degree from the Eli Broad School of Business, Lili ventured off to the Big Apple were she landed a job at MTVN- Nickelodeon. After a year, her passion for fashion led her to Diane von Furstenberg, designer of the signature "wrap dress." Although her skills and experience were broadening, something was missing. She had studied ballet for 14 years under Sharon Filone, among other notable instructors. She was involved with community theater and sang her way through middle and high school in one performance after another. Also, being awarded "All-Star" Cheerleader and competing at Nationals, Lili seemed destined for the entertainment industry. Perhaps it is in the genes as well; her late grandmother, Joan English, was a Rockette, acted for Warner Brothers, and sang in lounges across Manhattan. LiLi's past and present come together to bring a refreshing versatility and fresh outlook to B.U.M. She is proud to be a part of such a professional and dynamic team.
