I am debating Public Forum in my fourth year at Princeton High School in New Jersey and am currently ranked 3rd in the nation. Over the course of my career, I’ve earned 16 bids to the Tournament of Champions and qualified for NSDA Nationals, securing a top-8 position at both tournaments. I won the Lakeland Westchester Classic, New Jersey District Tournament, Pennsbury Falcon Invitational, Mid America Cup, Laird Lewis Invitational, Lexington Winter Invitational, and the North American Debate Circuit Turquoise Cup. I also reached deep elimination rounds at the Yale Invitational, Harvard National Tournament, Columbia Invitation, University of Pennsylvania Invitational, Marist Ivy Street Invitational, and Cypress Bay Invitational. Individually, I have won top-speaker awards at over 15 national tournaments and secured a top-5 position at nearly 20. As a coach, my teams have amassed several TOC bids, tournament wins, and speaker awards.
