I have been a member of Toastmasters since 2009. In April 2011 I attained my first milestone as Competent Communicator (CC) and began working towards the next level, Advanced Communicator Bronze (ACB). I completed my Competent Leader (CL) and ACB in June 2012 and am currently working towards Advanced Communicator Silver (ACS).
In July 2012 I was appointed District 86 Public Relations Officer for the 2012-2013 year.

In 2011 I joined the Garden City Toastmasters Club in St. Catharines. Within a few months I was elected club president. I held this role until the end of the 2011-2012 Toastmasters year. I have been elected again as club president for the 2013-2014 year.
