Executive Board

Hello! I am a fourth year Mechanical Engineering major from Chapel Hill, NC. I've probably done mock trial for too long, but I haven't found a satisfying exit strategy yet so I'm back for another year, and this time as president! My favorite thing about my time with GTMT has been the amazing friends and connections I've made, and I'm confident this year will bring many more. I'm looking forward to it!

Hi, my name is Emilie Mulkey, and I’m a third year Industrial Engineering and International Affairs Major. In addition to Mock Trial, I’m the Director of Social Events for Zeta Tau Alpha and a member of Kids at Kollege (I promise that’s spelled correctly).

I'm a fourth year from Johns Creek, GA and a double major in Business and International Affairs. This is my sixth year doing mock trial (I dare you to ask me about my high school team). Outside of studying and mock trial, I'm the sports editor for the campus newspaper, a co-chair for SGA's public relations committee, and a Georgia Tech Ambassador. And a Packers fan. I'm excited for the coming season and looking forward to meeting our newest members!

My name is Jacob Ward and I am a second year Industrial Engineering and International Affairs major. Last year was my first year of Mock Trial; however, I am looking forward to many more. Besides Mock Trial, I enjoy being a member of Greek Life and traveling. I am spending the summer studying abroad in Europe studying international relations in the context of the EU. Can’t wait for the new season of Georgia Tech Mock Trial. Go Jackets!

I am originally French, but I was born in Singapore and have spent the majority of my life in the United States (especially Atlanta).

I'm Aaron Aizenman, hailing from the small hamlet known as "Birmingham, Alabama." Although I am a fourth year Physics major, this is my third year on Georgia Tech's Mock Trial Team and I couldn't be more excited. I'm just another guy trying to find his way through this funny little thing we call life. On campus, I am involved with the Yellow Jackets Baseball Club and the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity while also conducting undergraduate research in the Soft Condensed Matter Lab. In my spare time, I like to either pick up a nice book or just Netflix and chill.

Hi! I am a second year Neuroscience major from Johns Creek, Georgia. Having two years of experience, I am still learning all the nuances of being in Mock Trial. When I am not occupied by academics or Mock Trial, I like to keep busy by spending time with friends, volunteering, attending Robotics meetings, dancing, and playing volleyball. I also love meeting people and making new friends! I am so excited see what this year has in store for us, and I am incredibly thankful to be a part of such a talented team!

Katie Burdette

Hey! My name is Katie Burdette and I am a third year Chemical Engineering major from Cincinnati, OH. While I would like to describe myself as hilarious and fun, my friends would be more apt to use words such as "weird" and "a major nerd." In my spare time, I love dancing (badly), singing (badlier) and laughing at poorly executed rules of evidence arguments in legal dramas. I can't wait to see where this year takes us!

Megan Rose Child

Hi, I'm Megan, a third year law exchange student from the UK studying in the schools of Business and Public Policy. This is my first year with GT Mock Trial but I have one years experience in criminal advocacy back in the UK. I'm really excited to take part in American mock trial and learn about litigation on this side of the pond! Outside of GTMT I'm also involved in Omega Phi Alpha service sorority on campus, and in my spare time love to read, bake and explore new places. Here's to a great year for Mock Trial!

I’m a second year studying Public Policy from Lake Jackson, Texas. This is my second year with Mock Trial, but I’m pumped and ready for the year to come with this great team(I’m sure watching all seven seasons of Suits will help me somewhere). In my free time I enjoy getting active, whether that be biking, hiking, or doing yoga. When I’m not free, I stress-bake cupcakes as the master form of procrastination, so expect a fresh batch before every tournament.

Mihir Dhoot

Hi! I'm Mihir Dhoot, and I'm a third year Industrial Engineering major (for now) from Johns Creek, Georgia, which is near enough to Atlanta that it's basically Atlanta. I enjoy playing sports in general, and I am delightfully mediocre at all that I've tried playing (except baseball - I'm just bad at baseball). I did Mock Trial for 3 years in high school, so I'm pumped for the year ahead, whether that's learning how to argue a college case against a college team or using my Indian accent to accentuate a point. Go Jackets - buzz buzz!

Niall Gamble

I'm a second year Economics major from Atlanta, GA. I have competed in Mock Trial since my sophomore year of high school making this my 4th year of competing. I'm very excited to be a part of Georgia Tech Mock Trial and am looking forward to competing with the team this year.

Hi, I'm Key! I'm a fourth year, I'm pretty Srat and - oh - I'm from Blueville, North Carolina. I get a lot of wrong number texts and I always message them back. Also, one time I met Ellen and she gave me a million-zillion dollars.

Hi! I'm Eli! For starters, I'm a die-hard New England Patriots fan. #bradydidnothingwrong. The happiest night of my life was when the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead! I'm not very good at Mock Trial, but I sure am working on it. Call me if you ever wanna listen to Kidz Bop 37 together.

Robert Johnson

Hello. I am Robert Johnson, a third year from Marietta, Georgia. I am currently a Industrial Engineering major with a minor in Public Policy, but I am sure that it will change before I graduate. After Tech, I would like to attend law school and eventually practice some type of law that combines technical skills with communication. This is my second year of Mock Trial, and I am very excited to learn the ropes and develop a new passion.

I am a fourth-year civil engineering major from New Orleans, LA (Go Saints!). This is my second year on the mock trial team and I'm so excited! I am also the President of Hillel and in Alpha Xi Delta. In my very limited spare time, I like to watch Netflix, bake yummy desserts, and crochet scarves.

Hey! I'm Megan and I am a fifth year environmental engineering major. This year is my fifth year with Georgia Tech Mock Trial and I am so excited for the new season. Other than mock trial, I am involved with Georgia Tech For the Kids, Alpha Chi Omega, and the Excel program. In my free time I like to ski and scuba dive.

Audra Murphey
|
I am a third-year Public Policy major and so thrilled to be a part of the team! Although I never participated in high school mock trial because my parents coached the team (no thanks), I've been surrounded by legal culture my whole life and am fascinated by its nuances. I'm arguably too comfortable with public speaking, so mock trial should be a great outlet for that enthusiasm. My current plan is to attend law school after I earn an undergraduate degree and to change the world (not necessarily in that order). Stay tuned!

Elizabeth Phillips

Greetings, loved ones, I am Elizabeth. Not too far from here is a small suburb of Atlanta called Milton; its most notable features are wine moms, horses, and yours truly. This is my second year at Georgia Tech, but I did Mock Trial for four years in high school and absolutely loved it. My major is Economics and International Affairs; I plan to obtain a law degree at some point. I’m passionate about outdoor spaces, dogs, humanity, and sitcoms.

Samuel Porta

Hi! I’m Sam, and I am a second year Computer Engineering Major and Mock Trial’er from Marietta, Georgia. It is my goal to pursue a law degree after graduating from Tech. I spent most of my childhood in New Zealand where they unfortunately do not have a competitive mock trial program, but with 7 years of Debating and 5 years of Model UN experience under my belt, I am keen to deep dive into Mock Trial. If I am honest, my inspiration for joining the team has been watching the TV show Suits for the past 7 years, and I am excited bring out a hybrid of Mike Ross and Harvey Spectre into the courtroom. Assuming you are a smart rival team reading these bio’s in an attempt to understand your opponents better, I will leave you with a single clap. See you at trial.

Harrison Pritchett

Hello! My name is Harrison Pritchett and I am a second year Business Administration major here at Georgia Tech. While it is my dream to become a CFO in the hectic world of corporate America, I have a driven passion for all things law related, especially mock trial. I’m also interested in soccer, drama, investment banking, and a martial art called Kendo. I have done mock trial for all four years of high school, and I served as Head Captain during my senior year. I have been looking forward to continuing my mock trial activities after high school and am honored to be able to participate in such an amazing collegiate program here at Tech. I look forward to all the tournaments this year and making wonderful friends. If you’re an opponent, best of luck to you and I’ll see you in court!

Malavika Rao

Hey! My name is Malavika Rao and I’m a fifth year Industrial Engineering major. I’m from John’s Creek, GA and I wasn’t on Mock Trial in high school but that’s okay probably. I love being on this team, but some of my other loves are TV, reading, baking, and tennis. After Tech, I hope to go to law school and learn even more about law (I’m pretty sure Mock Trial taught me basically 90% of what law school teaches anyways). I’m so excited for the next season of Mock Trial!

Carolyn Stanek

I'm a fourth year here at Georgia Tech University from Atlanta, GA. I'm working towards a degree in Material Science Engineering. I've been doing Mock Trial for about 6 years now, which is about 6 years too long if you ask me!
After a summer without hearing “truth of the matter asserted” and “rationally based on the witness’s perception,” I guess I'm ready to pretend to be a lawyer on the weekends again. |
Sarah Stebbins

Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’m a fourth year Business Major from Marietta, GA. I absolutely love mock trial, and have been competing since my freshman year in high school. I currently want to minor in about five different things (my academic advisor thinks I’m crazy) and want to attend law school after I graduate. To be honest, most of my life revolves around mock trial (I’m a huge dork), but I’m also on the Student Lobby Board, and the Student Alumni Task Force, and even though I don’t compete anymore, I was a competitive Irish dancer for 7 years. I love how close our team is this year, and I can’t wait to see how far we can go!

Hey homies, my name is Vy Tran and I’m a second year International Relations and Modern Language major with a concentration in Chinese! This is my second year doing Mock Trial (ever), and I am super excited to see what is in store. I have senior citizen hobbies, so on my spare time I enjoy baking, knitting, and napping. At Tech, I also participate in SAA, Freshman Council, and Intramural Cornhole. In conclusion, I love cats, naps, and hardcore rap :)

Coaches
Andy McNeil, Esq.

I had the privilege of graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2001, after which I graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 2005. I coached several high school mock trial teams in upstate New York and the metro Atlanta area before coming on board to coach the Georgia Tech mock trial team in 2007. In between my fulfilling and enjoying time with mock trial at my undergraduate alma mater (hopefully mutual for all parties involved), I previously practiced law with King & Spalding and Morris and Manning & Martin LLP, and I currently sit on the Board of Directors with several meaningful non-profit organizations.
