Kaitlyn Nash

Kaitlyn has been involved in speech & debate ever since her mom worked at Hendrickson High School as the coach of the team. She is a National Speech and Debate Association 2023 Student of the Year Finalist and has been dedicated to the activity for more than seven years. Kaitlyn participated in many different events, such as OO, PF, Extemp, CX, and others. Kaitlyn has worked with both Sandra Day O'Connor and Hendrickson High School in both speech and debate events, working with a wide array of students with differing skill sets. She prides herself on her ability to navigate student needs and develop strategies to help every competitor succeed. Kaitlyn judges at tournaments in the Austin and San Antonio, Texas areas. She is excited to be a part of such a great program that strives to make speech accessible to every student. She hopes that her past experience and knowledge will help her students make the changes they want to see as competitors and future leaders.
