Bio
WHY LEHIGH? “When I visited Lehigh, it felt like home and I had an immediate connection. The education students receive here is phenomenal, and I also get the opportunity to continue playing the sport I love to play. The coaching staff and the team have been very welcoming. Lehigh is also close to home, so I get to see my family very often!”
