School Affiliation: Carrollwood Day School

Judging Event: LD and Public Forum

When judging, I will award points on effectiveness of argument, consistency of logic, use of data, references, and clear communication.

I will take notes as a reference for myself when scoring.

In cross examination, I look for respect and thoughtful counter-arguments and data/references to the opponents arguments and that you demonstrate both listening and an understanding of the opponents argument.

Substance is an important element in the overall evaluation, as is the effectiveness of communication and argument.

Good luck to all, this is a great accomplishment and you should all be proud!

Greetings,

I am a new judge. I am a Pediatric Dentist with a private office located in Riverview. I love dogs, in particular large breeds. Young people are the future. I believe love unites us as human beings.

I am a very organized person and I prefer clear concise communication. Unnecessary fluff words are ineffective and boring. With that being said, speeches should be concise, clear, organized, and delivered with confidence. Debates should prove the point and remain on topic at all times.

I am a fair person and I believe that you should treat others BETTER than you treat yourself!

GO BUCS!!!!
