GETTING TO KNOW EMILY
Nickname: Em
Why did you choose Lehigh?: Lehigh has a perfect balance between competitive athletics and challenging academics all taking place on a beautiful campus. It seemed like a university that would supply me with the skills that I need for years after college.
What's your favorite thing about Lehigh?: The community. The people here at Lehigh feel like family; everyone looks out for one another.
Thoughts on Lehigh Coaching Staff (Coach Sue Troyan): The first time I spoke to Coach Troyan, I could tell she cared about more than just basketball. Coach always makes sure that I am excelling on and off the court. On the basketball side of things, Coach Troyan is an experienced coach who knows what she's doing.
Major & Why: Finance With a Minor in Actuarial Science. This major/minor combination will leave me set after my years at Lehigh. Actuaries are a part of high level business decision making and solve real problems in the world. Being an actuary allows you to have a low-stress, highly desired work/life balance with a rewarding salary.
