Bio
WHY LEHIGH? “I chose Lehigh primarily because of the culture that the school, as well as the lacrosse team, has built. I prefer a hard-working environment over any other option because hard work gets the job done. The team also offers a sense of family at a level that is hard to find at many other schools, making it an ideal place for me to learn and play lacrosse.”
