개인 진행형 비판적 사고, 토론 및 대중 연설 튜터링

Hi, Y'all! 

I am the Director of Debate and a principal lecturer, with the privilege of founding the Debate Society, which has grown from its humble beginnings into one of the most respected programs in the country. Our team travels across the United States and around the world for competitions and training, reflecting our commitment to excellence. My passion lies in fully investing in my students, both in the classroom and on the debate team. It is immensely rewarding to witness their growth, learning, and self-challenge through critical thinking.

Over the years, I’ve played a pivotal role in organizing some of the largest debate tournaments in the United States and globally, all aimed at promoting critical thinking, argumentation, and public speaking. Recently, I had the honor of becoming the first woman to host the United States University Debating Championship, the largest debating competition in the country.

Debate covers a vast range of topics, equipping students with the skills to communicate effectively, respectfully, and with well-researched, objective information. I’ve led numerous workshops on navigating complex and sensitive issues such as gender, race, socio-economic disparities, and cultural differences. These challenging topics are vital for students to explore, fostering informed and meaningful discussions.

Below, you’ll find a summary of my current role as a debate coach, along with a list of accomplishments and the various places where I’ve been invited as a trainer to promote and develop debate.
