I have been a member of the following clubs:

- Jun 2010 – May 2011 — Life Tech Toastmasters, Carlsbad, CA.
- Jan 2009 – Mar 2010 — Biotoasters, La Jolla, CA.
- May 2008 – Oct 2008 — Expresso Toastmasters, Upland, CA. This was my first club.
I have held the following officer positions:
- VP Public Relations/Webmaster, Narrators Toastmasters

Toastmasters has been an excellent place for me to improve my public speaking and leadership skills. I have also been working on my webmaster skills by creating and managing the websites for both BioToasters and Expresso Toastmasters.
I was interviewed by scientists and public speaking by Voice of San Diego in August 2010.
