Through-out my four years as a Houston Urban Debate League competitor I tried out different formats growing with every loss, but deciding on some of the more kritikal arguments my senior year. I continued my career doing Policy Debate in college at the University of North Texas. After graduating with my BA in Political Science, I moved backed to Houston and began working with the Harris County Department of Education in its efforts to expand and create new speech & debate programs in my hometown.
