Welcome to Canyon Park Echoes Ana.  Ana joined our club back in October of 2012.  Ana is a teacher who has interest in languages and society changes.  Her career aspirations are to be an influential educator and Toastmasters is a great way to help her hone her english language skills through the Toastmasters communications track. 

Ana brings a lot of high energy to all that she does and we get to enjoy that in her speeches and the impromptu talks during Table Topics.  Ana looks for our feedback during her Table Topics to help her be more efficient and influential during these impulsive mini speeches.

Ana, we are here to help support you as you grow within Toastmasters, please let us know how we can best do that.  Glad you are a part of the Canyon Park Echoes family.

Paul Walters just joined our club but he is not new to Toastmasters.  Paul already has his Advanced Communication Bronze (ACB) and almost has his Advanced Leader Bronze (ALB).  Way to go Paul, please let us know how we can support you to meet your goals!

Paul works at T-Mobile, is interested in photography and would love to retire with plenty of mulah!  Paul, I am there with you and while we are at it, let’s retire early with plenty of $$ for some fun and travel the world taking lots of pictures.

Welcome to the club Paul and we are happy to have you as a new member of Canyon Park Echoes!
