Judging qualifications:
As a professional in the Theater Industry, I have had the privilege of sharing my poetry at numerous Open Mic Nights. This experience has not only honed my public speaking skills but also deepened my appreciation for the power of words and the art of communication. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to judge speech and debate tournaments. It was an enriching experience that allowed me to contribute to the growth and development of the participants. I found immense satisfaction in guiding students and helping them excel in their chosen events. Now, I am eager to return to judging. I believe my teaching experience, coupled with my professional background, equips me well for this role. It would be an honor to dedicate my time and expertise to help these talented students reach their full potential. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your esteemed tournaments.

In my view, it is imperative for a judge to uphold a stance of neutrality, permitting the course of the debate to influence their judgment. This approach fosters an environment of fairness and impartiality.
