Judging qualifications:
I participated in LD all 4 years, and I was in top 6 at state all 4 years. I atttended multiple invitationals and camps regarding LD. The same can be said for extemperaneous speaking. I was 2nd at state two years in a row, as well as regional champ. I also went to state in Congress where I was 3rd in state, as well as 4th in state. My mother was a UIL coach with a prose state champion, as well as a state runner up poetry. I have been around prose and poetry, as well generally all of the speaking. I was always a very good speaker who got a lot of speaker points, and I ultimately just want to help as many indviduals as I can. I have not judged anything yet due to the fact that I just recently became old enough for the 1 year out rule, but I have consulted and coached multiple individuals in all different pursuits.
