I am standing for Convenor because I believe one of the biggest challenges our society currently faces is running tournaments at the level we aspire to. In the past we have faced issues such as the lack of pocket rooms and other logistical difficulties, and I want to help ensure our events run smoothly and reach the standard of other major tournaments. I am deeply passionate about tournaments. I attend them almost every weekend and love the intensity, the competition, and the opportunity for growth they create. For me, tournaments are the heart of competitive debating and I want to help create spaces where people and the community can grow.

I also bring relevant experience and strong organizational skills. I previously organized the largest MUN conference at my school, the first and only one held entirely in English, running logistics, and I have CAPed around ten Brazilian tournaments. I am very organized and comfortable with Excel through my work as an assistant at iLAC. I have been active on the debate circuit since 2024. I am a breaking judge at Worlds in both university and schools categories, a finalist at Portuguese Worlds , and I currently coach Team Portugal. Through judging, coaching, and debating I have built strong connections across the community, including many people in London’s schools circuit, which would help me bring strong ACs, equity, tab teams, and other contributors to our tournaments.
