Judging qualifications:
I competed in speech and debate events throughout my high school career. I specifically competed in LD debate all four years and extemporaneous - medaling in both at the State meet. I am currently and Assistant District Attorney and draw my experience and knowledge about the events from my own experiences competing and my speech and presentation experience from consistently presenting and practicing in a courtroom. Participating in speech and debate helped me learn valuable skills that I continue to use, and I look forward to giving back and helping students to learn and perfect those skills as well.
