Judging qualifications:
Been a part of UIL Theatre since high school. Since then, I have transitioned from the stage to the "little black book." I have coached 3 performers to the Regional Prose & Poetry meet, two of which were alternates to the State contest in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. I have been asked to judge a number of invitational meets as a coach and feel that I have a solid understanding of how the Prose/Poetry events work.
