Speech and Debate
Since 2012, I has been involved in academic debate as a debater, judge, volunteer, and coach. Debate deeply shaped me as an intellectual, a friend, a leader, and a fighter. I deeply believe in the capacity for activities like speech and debate to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people. As such, I continue to give back to the community to help students like me find their voice.
