Bio
Why Lehigh? “I chose to attend Lehigh because it is very similar to my high school. They both have the right mix of strong academics and competitive athletics. They both have a small teach to student ratio, which is very important to me as well. I have loved the last four years of high school and cannot wait for the next four years at Lehigh.”
