STORY

My name is Kristy Thomas and I have been in the world of oral interpretation since I was a freshman in high school. Now, over thirty years later, I am still as in love with the art of interpretation as I was back then. I presently run two small businesses: Always Writing 4 U and Thomas DEI Consulting (DEIA Consulting firm)
 
I competed on the high school level as well as on the college level and have been a coach, in some respect, since I graduated from high school in 1996. I had been coaching my own team in Texas for eight years when I finally decided that the time is right to share the next level of being an active participant in this craft, introducing Kristy - the writer.

My achievements in forensics began when I was in high school as a competitor and was a semifinalist at the NSDA National Tournament in 1996 in duo interpretation. My greatest accomplishment as a performer occurred on the college level when I was in the final rounds of five events at the state tournament placing second in poetry and prose, and first in duo, dramatic, and program oral interpretation at the Missouri state tournament. As a coach in Texas I had state finalists in duo, duet, oratory, and dramatic; semifinalists in the aforementioned events as well as humorous, prose and poetry; two duo state champions and one in dramatic. I have also had state finalists in University Interscholastic League (UIL) prose and poetry, NSDA semifinalists in duo and dramatic and a second place finalist in poetry at the 2012 NFL National Tournament all as a coach.
