“Irna joined the GMU Forensics Team during one of our most competitive years, when we were consistently ranked among the top programs in the nation. Often my role was simply to help her refine the strong instincts she already possessed. Her first-place finish at the DSR-TKA National Tournament as a college freshman was an impressive achievement and a reflection of her dedication and talent. I would be happy to recommend her as a public speaker.”
