Yajaira Flores
Hello, I am an incoming freshman at Rhodes College and a recent graduate from Irma Rangel YWLS. I debated for all four years of my high school career in the World Schools division while dabbling in policy and extemp debate. I competed in the Dallas Urban Debate Alliance (DUDA), Texas Forensic Association and NSDA National circuit. Additionally, I am involved in volunteering at DUDA through judging, teaching workshops and summer camps. As this is my first year at TDC, I am very excited to share my knowledge and learn from everyone else at camp!

I’m an incoming freshman at the University of Texas at Austin, where I will be studying Government. I have competed for three years at Irma Rangel YWLS in World Schools Debate and attended tournaments through the Dallas Urban Debate Alliance (DUDA), Texas Forensic Association State, and NSDA National Circuit. Last year, I attended TDC as a student in the World Schools Institute, but I’m excited to come back and have the opportunity to teach this time around!
