Who I Am

Hey all! My name is Riley Williamson and I am currently a freshman at Lehigh University majoring in civil engineering. I am also involved in varsity intercollegiate sports on campus as a member of Lehigh men’s cross country and track and field teams, competing in the distance events. I live not far from campus in Allentown, PA where I attended Parkland School District from grades K-12. I typically have a very quiet nature but am not afraid to speak up when I need to! I have one older brother that is currently in the Marines that I look up to a lot, and I am the proud uncle of a thirteen-month-old niece named Lana. I was heavily involved in youth soccer growing up, playing from when I was five until the eighth grade, and I still follow the sport heavily, especially the MLS and my favorite teams the Philadelphia Union and the LA Galaxy. My other hobbies include being outdoors, trying new foods, and traveling. I have been to almost all of the east coast states, as well as California and Arizona, and took a class trip to the German-speaking countries of Europe in high school. I will be traveling this summer to Scotland where my family has many ancestral roots and I can’t wait to go!
