I became part of the Toastmasters family 2 years ago, and my life has never been the same! What a remarkable organization! Toastmasters provided me a supportive environment to develop communication skills and to learn the principles and techniques to earn leadership, without any formal authority or position. I continue to benefit from the valuable educational experience and support network.

My home club is "Highways to Success" in Irvine, a four-time President's Distinguished Toastmaster's Club, including in 2006-07. I have served as their President and VP Education during the past year. I have 17 years of corporate experience in strategic planning, team building and creative problem solving.

As the Area Governor, I look forward to making many new friends among the members and getting involved as much as I can, in their journey to achieve their full potential in communication and leadership. I also look forward to assisting the club officers to make each club "Distinguished" or better. I bring enthusiasm, committment and years of management and leadership experience, to serve you.
