Episode 40: Bailey Hess

Bailey Hess, while a friendly ray of sunshine, encompasses the ‘Average Joe’ of the Speech community. While she competed in both high school and college forensics, the closest she had to fame was placing third at the Pi Kappa Delta National Tournament in Duo. Instead, she has found her true calling as the head coach for Mounds View High School in Minnesota. Always a collection of rag-tag misfits and smarties, Bailey encourages one and all to join the team and find their voice. When not in season, she continues to consume Forensics in any way possible: listening to podcasts, watching performances on Youtube, and adding literature and topic ideas to an endless spreadsheet. Speech is life.
