Aarya Parekh is a competitive speech and debate athlete with over four years of experience competing at the regional, national, and international levels. Her record speaks for itself: 

• 1st place, 11–0 undefeated finish at a national competition, 

• 3rd place speaker at Harvard University, 

• 1st place at Cornell's international tournament, and the title of 'Future Stars Champion'. 

Beyond competition, Aarya has served as a public speaker and MC at live events,  bringing the same command of a room to the stage that she brings to the debate floor.

But credentials only tell part of the story. What drives Aarya's coaching is what happens after the wins, watching a student find their voice, sharpen their thinking, and walk into a round with the kind of confidence that can't be faked.

At Arc, she works closely with elementary and middle school students on argument strategy, delivery, and real-round preparation. Her approach is direct, personalized, and high-standard, because she knows what judges are actually looking for, and she knows what it takes to get there.

Aarya doesn't just coach students to compete. She coaches them to grow.
