Bio
WHY LEHIGH? “The campus appealed to me very much and I knew that I wanted to go to an engineering school relatively close to home.”
AS A SOPHOMORE (2015-16): Part of the Men’s Varsity Four, which took Gold at the Kerr Cup … Helped the Varsity Four advance to the semifinals at the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta … Defeated Lafayette in the Varsity Four during the River Cup.
AS A FRESHMAN (2014-15): Came In first in the Varsity Four in the River Cup … Raced in the Varsity Eight in the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta.
BEFORE LEHIGH: Did not row in high school, walking onto the Lehigh rowing team as a freshman … Was a junior varsity track runner and cross country athlete … Garnered the Academic Scholar Award … Member of the National Honor Society in high school … Finished 11th in the nation (and first in the state) for Nationals Economics Challenge … An AP Scholar and member of the Dean’s List.
