I will be in my 8th year debating, competing in both policy and public forum throughout high school. I will be a senior in college in the fall and I am majoring in English and Political Science, with plans of graduating in May of 2025. I have been coaching debate for the past 3 years, doing private consulting with policy debaters and public forum debaters. One of my public forum teams that I coached this previous year were the bid leaders, with over 11 bids, most from the fall semester. I have also coached over 10 other TOC qualifying teams, and work one on one with debaters who are looking to excel in technical debate. My favorite areas to coach are policy, theory, and critical debate. I have experience reading critical arguments in college, but have always been heavily drawn to theory and policy debates. I have worked with students aged 12-18, and have coached all different levels of debate. I taught at NSD Texas last summer as an instructor, and continued to work with students from camp throughout the year.
