Primarily, I am a coach and educator. I have always felt strongly that debate is a contest of ideas and communication skills. I have no preferences in the round; however, if you speak so quickly that your ideas are diminished, I will have a hard time voting for you, especially if your opponent is more articulate (even with weaker arguments).
I vote on whatever I found to be effective in the round. The more specific your arguments are to what happens in the debate, the greater your chances of earning my ballot. I’m looking for clash and reward debaters who work to ensure it is achieved.

I am philosophically opposed to disclosing my ballot at the end of the round. I will only offer oral critique if I saw something that I think I could share to help you with the remaining rounds in the tournament (adjusting your case, how you could have argued more effectively, etc.). Everything else I am thinking during the round I will note on the ballot.

SOOOOOOO TRAD.

Experience: I participated in Policy Debate in High School, qualifying for National Speech and Debate Tournament in Policy and extemporaneous speaking my Senior year in High School. I also participated in several IE events including Prose/Poetry, impromptu, and dramatic interpretation.

As a debate judge, I like to see the following items in around:

1. I strongly believe that debaters should be civil at all times, avoiding rude or insulting comments.

2. I like each component of your case to be clearly stated at the end (voters clearly stated). Make my flow easy to follow.

3. I feel that it is important that your speech is clear, easy to follow and at a pace consistent with real-world applications. If I cannot keep up with what you are saying it will not be added to the flow.

Willing to give progressive a chance.

Hello my name is Judge Enjoli White! It is of great honor that you have chosen me to be your Congress, Big Question,speech, and debate judge. I have had my share and have won all pageantry, debate, and oratory competitions. I hold a criminal justice and bible degree, attended law school, and have credits in graduate level public administration coursework.

Some of my past employers include the Governor's Legislative Affairs Office, Department of Labor, AL Attorney General's Office, American Cancer Society, Family Guidance Center, Covenant Gardens Florist, and Mary Kay Global.

I ask that my debaters be thorough utilizing all available materials and human resources. Don't let them catch you with your work undone. Be cordial, always shake your opponents hand and don't forget to smile. I truly believe that noone meets by happenstance. We all have purpose. We are all victorious! Thank you for your time and attention.
