Hi! I’m Lauren, the founder of SpeechMakers. After competing in speech and debate for 5 years with over 100 tournament rankings including the title of highest full-season seeded team in the nation, I headed off to Baylor University to study Economics, Political Science, and Photojournalism.
I’ve remained involved in the forensics world because I want to help others grow like I did. I’ve taught over 200 students at debate camps, coached several teams, and met with dozens of other competitors. But between all the interactions, I saw a recurring problem: presentation was stunted by a lack of understanding of the topic.
