MEET THE AMTSI INSTRUCTORS
NATALIA VELIZ
Natalia is a rising senior at the U of A currently majoring in Law with a minor in Psychology. While competing with UAMT she has earned 14 ranks as both a plaintiff and defense witness. Natalia has competed at AMTA regionals, where her team received an honorable mention. She would say that being double-sided has helped her to develop strong critical thinking and public speaking skills. Mock trial has allowed Natalia to apply the things she’s learned about the law during her studies in a competitive and collaborative format. She’s very excited to be a part of this year’s AMTSI committee and is looking forward to sharing her experience and helping others develop their skills this summer!
CORDELIA ELLSWORTH
Cordelia is a rising sophomore at the U of A and is currently studying political science with minors in both Spanish and art history. She is also a member of the W.A. Franke Honors College. This spring, Cordelia captained our C team through multiple regional and invitational tournaments, leading them to a winning record. With experience as both a defense opener and closer, Cordelia is well equipped to help high school students in delivering compelling speeches, responsive cross examinations, and engaging direct examinations. She is so excited to be instructing at AMTSI this summer and can’t wait for it it be an amazing week!
