"I’m a New York State Congressional Debate Champion and debate coach with experience teaching at Yale’s Debate Summer Program and coaching students to state-level success, including a two-time New York State champion.

I work primarily with middle and high school debaters, helping them strengthen case construction, sharpen rebuttals, improve cross-examination, and speak with clarity and confidence in round. My coaching focuses on the skills that consistently win debates: clear organization, strategic refutation, impact weighing, and controlled delivery under time pressure.

I’ve competed and coached across Congressional Debate, Lincoln-Douglas, Parliamentary Debate, and Spontaneous Argumentation, and I tailor each session to the student’s format, experience level, and goals. Whether a student is new to debate or aiming to place more consistently at competitive tournaments, I focus on steady, measurable improvement.

I help students with:

• Congressional Debate (legislation, speeches, questioning, strategy)

• Lincoln-Douglas Debate (case writing, rebuttals, framework)

• Parliamentary Debate & SPAR (prep, clash, delivery)

• Flowing and round strategy

• Rebuttal drills and impact comparison

• Speaking speed, clarity, and confidence

My coaching style is structured, supportive, and strategy-driven. Debate can be challenging, but it shouldn’t feel overwhelming! My goal is to help students think clearly, speak confidently, and compete at their highest level." less...
