Inspire Youth Debate is honored to have Nicole Rodriguez as our debate advisor! This year, Nicole is a sophomore at the University of Chicago (#12 national university according to the U.S. News) where she is a member of the debate team that is currently ranked number one in the U.S. She has four years of experience in public forum debate during her high school career and has competed nationally and won numerous awards.
She qualified for the NSDA Nationals, one of the largest and most prestigious academic competitions in the world, three times and even placed top 10 in the 2022 NSDA Nationals. She also reached semifinals and octo-finals at other debate tournaments, such as Harvard, Yale, Durham, and Blake to name a few, amassing a total of 9 TOC gold bids. In addition, she also received top 10 speaker awards at Harvard, Durham, and Holy Cross.
Inspire Youth Debate is delighted to have such an amazing debate advisor like Nicole. With her help, we hope to further our mission of spreading knowledge about debate and fostering a community of public forum debate here in Vietnam.
