Hometown: Abington, Pennsylvania (about 90 minutes from Lehigh)
Goals: Looking forward to not only becoming a part of but also increasing the presence of the LGBTQIA community on the Lehigh campus. Want to create a stronger presence of the community so LGBQIA students feel that they have a sense of support and unity.
Why Rainbow Room?: I belonged to the GSA at my high school and really liked the sense of community and openness that the organization gave off. I wanted to become part of Lehigh’s Rainbow Room because I felt that moving away to a foreign place with thousands of people I don’t know, it was important that I became part of a community that I knew would accept me for who I was. I also wanted to become part of the effort to make other members of the LGBTQIA community here at Lehigh feel like there was a place on campus for them to feel a home.
