BOSTON TOASTMASTERS

Amniya joined Toastmasters one and a half years ago when she moved to Boston. She was thrilled to have the opportunity to develop her public speaking skills with people from a wide range of industries and backgrounds. One of the things that impressed her most was the amount of confidence people can gain in a short time through Toastmasters, helping them to become better speakers and stronger leaders. She wanted to contribute to the club by joining the leadership team with a view toward integrating new members more effectively, enhancing the networking potential of the club and creating more knowledge sharing from senior members.

Brett is a 2nd-generation Toastmaster who joined Boston Toastmasters in July 2013.

He is the reigning club champion of the Humourous and International Speech contests, as well as the Area 83 International Speech winner.

As VP of Education, Brett is looking to help a record number of members to achieve their CC, enhance the mentoring program by creating stronger bonds between its mentors and mentees, and facilitating a professional yet energetic atmosphere. In his free time, Brett writes and performs sketch comedy at ImprovBoston, and is an avid collector of dandelions and unicorn t-shirts.
