This recognition comes as she achieves the coaching milestone of 1,000 points during her career. Coaches earn 1/10th of a point for each point a student earns in competition.

Among a long list of accomplishments for the Sandburg Debate team under her direction is bringing home a second place trophy in Public Forum Debate from the IHSA State competition this year. Team members also finished in third place in both Public Forum and in Lincoln Douglas Debate.
