I was introduced to Stoa Speech & Debate back in 2015 and it became my life. I was able to qualify for 4 consecutive National Tournaments (2020 was cancelled due to Covid). Throughout my career I competed at 35 tournaments, in 200 events, and won 40 of them. Fun fact: I finalized in Original Oratory 19 times in a row including the 2017, 18, and 19 NITOC. 

NITOC stands for the National Invitational Tournament of Champions and takes place every year at the end of May. In 2017 it was held at Union University in Jackson TN, 2018 @ Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego CA, and 2019 @ Dallas Baptist University in Dallas TX. 

In 2020 I joined my own coach’s platform, formerly Ace Peak Coaching, and began my coaching career! I’ve coached Clubs, had students that competed in Stoa, NCFCA, and NSDA, and I have assisted professionals including a Maryland County Commissioner and an Economics Professor.
