Beena Koshy

Beena is truly dedicated to her craft. A four star chef and cheerleader in college, she decided to return to her roots and become a teacher and debate coach in Kingston, MA. Attending Apple Valley High School in Minnesota, Beena was a radio DJ, taking time out for four years of LD and OO among other public address events. She was a state champion in speech and a state finalist in debate. She traveled the circuit advancing to out rounds at such tournaments as St. Marks, Bronx, Glenbrooks, Valley and Emory, NFL, CFL and the TOC where she was tenth speaker. While changing her major (at the University of Minnesota) from philosophy - which she thought had no future - to sociology - which she confirmed had no future - she coached IE's and debate at Apple Valley. She has also worked at a number of summer institutes throughout the years teaching theory, delivery and logic. Beena now resides in Massachusetts as a middle and high school teacher. Beena is the Director of Debate and also a speech coach at Sacred Heart High School.
