Seeing the moment of something 'clicking' for a student, whether immediate or over time, is incredibly rewarding.Why did you choose Lehigh?I chose Lehigh because I will love to give back to the institution where I earned my doctorate. I am excited to return to Lehigh in a new lens, as an instructor rather than a student.
