 * ---First year debater from Binghamton University **
 * ---Consistently placed in elimination rounds in Novice debate, won Rutgers 2014 tournament in the novice division. **
 * ---Running and learning mostly critical arguments but can judge “traditional” policy debate and will vote for the best argument in the round. **
 * Things to Do: **
 * --- Clash with the other team; answer their arguments as directly as possible. **
 * --- It’s important to make eye contact with the judge during cross examination. **
 * --- It is important to not make just tagline extensions, and explain arguments that you’re making. **
 * --- I am not familiar with this year’s high-school topic so make sure you explain any topic related terms or terms. **
 * --- I am not very familiar with policy literature. So if you are running those arguments make sure you do not just extend the author name. **
 * --- I believe that debate should be a safe space so avoid offensive and hostile language. I will vote for impacted out arguments against language used in round. **
