Kristin has been in Toastmasters since 2010. She just finished her CC after 7 years (but not everyone takes that long). After that she saw two people at work with varying levels of speaking skills and appreciated the more experienced speaker. That was the impetus she needed to start looking for a club she could attend. She enjoys the myriad of interesting speeches brought to the club.

My family, including me, my wife, and son just immigrated to US seven months ago. I’m originally from Yemen, born and raised up in Saudi Arabia. Moving to US is big transition and movement for us since we grow up with our family for our entire life. However, we take these challenges and make them as an opportunity for us to achieve our goals and have the life style that we are looking for. We do believe life is nice and cool but it needs also some kinds of sacrifices and discipline. We are assiduous in working to achieve our goals/dreams, as always where there’s will here’s a way. I wish all the best to us and to everyone.
