Feeling confident and comfortable go hand in hand.

National Online Forensics hosted their online Nationals this week. It was a massive and highly competitive tournament. Thanks to hard work and great coaching, several students from Able2Shine earned top awards. 🥇

A big thanks to the 17 judges who made the tournament possible, and also to our logistics team, including Judy, Lily, Juvy, and others, who worked for weeks before the tournament to get everyone set up. 👏
