Public Speaking & Leadership
Toastmasters Journey
My public speaking journey started at a company Toastmasters club during my time at ADP, and continues today as a member of DSO Toastmasters Club. It's where I practice the leadership skills I use every day on projects — structured thinking, clear communication, and giving honest feedback.

Table Topics
Table Topics is where impromptu speaking gets real — no prep, one minute, whatever question lands. It's taught me more about staying composed under pressure than almost any project fire drill. A running favorite: framing an answer as a mini story instead of a list of points — it almost always lands better with the room.
