Kierra competed in PF for two years, having started as a novice in her junior year and progressing to varsity within three months. In her senior year alone, she accrued 7 bids to the Tournament of Champions (5 Golds, 2 Silvers). She was ranked as high as 9th in the nation on NSD and championed the Columbia University Invitational with only one dropped ballot at the tournament. She has consistently advanced to late elimination rounds at nearly every other tournament she attended, including but not limited to: semis at Season Opener, James Logan MLK, and TOC Digital 2 & quarters at John Lewis. Kierra's coaching experience started at her school, Davidson Academy Online, though she now coaches for Emerald High School. Having been a summer camp instructor for NSD last year, she's excited to be back! She specializes in any form of traditional/substantive debate.
