Introduction :

Debate has been a major part of my life for over 5 years now, and what’s always kept me coming back is how it helps me become a more confident person and critical thinker. Throughout this time, coaching has become my passion as well. I want to bring debate to others so they can have positive experiences like I did. I believe every student should have the chance to participate and feel included, and to explore different sides of debate. I hope students come out of my class with not only a technical knowledge of debate, but also community, confidence, and other transferable skills to help them in school and every day life.
