Debate

Nationally Ranked Debater

I have applied my skills and academic education in competitive debate to talk about topics that deal with critical race theory, politics, economics, identity, and existence. These are important topics that deal with everyday life with every autonomous individual that is incorporated into  society. It is important to use the portable skills that I have gained from debate to use an open mind and be receptive to individuals that may have important questions or complaints about the systems and institutions around them. I am here to help them assert and engage those systems and institutions.
