Tessa Harper is excited to be returning for her second year as an Assistant Debate Coach. Having debated at the highest levels for Wake Forest University as an undergraduate including receiving multiple First-Round At-Large Bids to the National Debate Tournament, she brings to the team an eye for critical argument development and a knack for transforming the passions of students into well-researched, persuasive positions. She is currently pursuing her graduate studies at Rutgers University. Tessa spends what little free time she has left devouring science fiction novels, soliciting those around her to start a DND group, or engaging in political organizing.
