Personal Accomplishments
2007 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll
Why Lehigh? “Lehigh's engineering program and its overall outstanding academics definitely drew me here. But after visiting the campus, the facilities available to engineers and meeting the team on my recruiting trip, I knew it was the right school for me. The campus is beautiful and the facilities engineers are second to none. The training and team dynamics were unlike any I had seen, everyone on the team socialized together and everyone were friends. The innovative team stretching, crossfit training, and pool training also made my choice an easy one.”
On the Lehigh swimming experience: “It has undoubtedly changed my college experience. It has given me something to take pride in and feel a part of. It has shown me that I have the ability to accomplish goals that I thought were impossible. I have made lifetime friends in the process as well as a community that I will always be a part of. While it sometimes may have made things a little more difficult, it has definitely changed my college career for the better.”
