Elizabeth has been a part of the Speech and Debate team since 8th grade.  Although she originally joined to overcome a fear of public speaking, Speech and Debate has also helped her develop research skills, make lifelong friends, and (shockingly) enjoy giving speeches. Her primary event is Public Forum debate, but she also participates in International Extemporaneous Speaking. When not prepping for a debate tournament, Elizabeth loves to read, ride horses, spend time with her family, and fangirl over anything Taylor Swift.
