Liezl Theron came to Lee from Pretoria, South Africa, to double major in biological science and chemistry. Even though her Lee journey started off different than most, Liezl has found a second home within the community. “I was in South Africa when I started my first semester at Lee in August 2021 because of Covid restrictions, but when I finally got to Lee that October, I was greeted with the warmest welcome by my Gateway class.” Liezl is a member of the Women’s Track and Field team, where she has earned many awards, including the 2021-2022 GSC Field Athlete of the Year and 2023 Indoor GSC Most Outstanding Player. Upon graduation from Lee, Liezl plans to continue her studies to one day become a doctor.
