Bio
Why Lehigh:
“I chose Lehigh in large part because an atmosphere of energy and school spirit is something that I really wanted in the school I chose. Equally important was an atmosphere with great passion, I would be able to pursue my academic interests in science and swim on a team that is close knit and one that I could contribute to. There are a wide variety of extracurricular activities that I am interested in and the bonus of Lehigh is that I can continue to carry on my family's legacy at the school.”
