About Me.

I am passionate about competitive speech and debate because it is an avenue to grow in all areas of our lives and become more fully ourselves. The teenage years are a time of rapid and abundant personal and brain development. The skills involved in public speaking and debate both harness and expand that growth.

As a homeschool student, I competed through NCFCA for 6 years (2015-2020) in Region 4 that became Region 12, with the Brazos Valley Rhetoric Club. I enjoy all different speech categories and placed in Sweepstakes often (successes across many categories at a tournament)

I align with the mission to "challenge and equip ambassadors for Christ to communicate truth with integrity and grace." (NCFCA)
