Judging qualifications:
I have four years of high school debate experience, where I competed primarily in LD and extempt, but have participated in LD, extempt, CX, Congress, and prose/poetry. My educational background is a B.S. in communication sciences and disorders, and I have a masters in public administration. My masters in public administration expanded my knowledge of policy, ethics/values, and public speaking. In undergrad at UT, I judged about 5 times. However, when I moved out of state, I was unable to continue judging. I have recently returned to the Houston, TX area.
