A three-year growth story in NPDA parliamentary debate, from Novice to Varsity.

A progression in public thinking

Competing as LO and MG, I’ve developed a style grounded in clear structure, rigorous research, and responsive collaboration.

From Novice to JV and Varsity, debate has taught me how to build an argument, listen closely, and adapt in the moment.

Tournament highlights

Reached semifinals at the Berkeley Invitational in JV and earned 29 speaker points in a standout NPDI 2025 win over Campolindo.

I’m currently building deeper skills in kritiks and theory shells.
