Alicia L. - President | Club Mentor
Alicia is a San Diego Native. She is a Career Advisor for students in the medical field. During her presentations and workshops, she would catch her audience falling asleep or just bored; so she joined Toastmasters. She knew she needed to make a change. The Career Builders club has helped her increase her confidence and has given her the opportunity to learn leadership skills. When Alicia is not at work or in a Toastmasters meeting, she is usually spending time with her family and friends. She likes to hike, practice her Spanish, read self help books, dream about future travels and dance in her car. |
