Bio
Why Lehigh:
“I chose to come to Lehigh because I felt that it was the right school for me. Although I am excited about every aspect of Lehigh, the swim team was the deciding factor for me. There are both great coaches and swimmers that welcomed me into the team before I even arrived on campus. Lehigh has a lot of opportunities outside of swimming too and I can't wait to experience all of it!”
