Zhane adds style wherever she can.  She and partner Josh Johnwell placed 9th in the Nation at the 2017 JV National Championships.  When designing the debate site rather than just place “Page Under construction” messages, she included Missy Elliott’s Under Construction album to add a little more flava (as well as write about herself in 3rd person). Zhane won the 2017 University of Texas-Dallas tournament without dropping a single ballot. She also made elims at the University of North Texas and Rutgers University.
