Bio
WHY LEHIGH? “I chose Lehigh because it is a well-respected academic institution, because the lacrosse program is competitive and on the rise, and because of the apparent close-knit nature of the team. I believe that I will be challenged to be better every single day, whether that be in the classroom, on the field, etc. I also loved the gritty feel within the lacrosse program and wanted to be surrounded by like-minded people who feel like they have something to prove every day.”
