Meet our Team!

Hello! My name is Ella Liu! I love dancing ballet, watching films, and drinking matcha -- but most of all, I love spending time with my students at Kids Toastmasters! Helping them gain confidence through public speaking each year truly makes me proud. As a public speaker and debater for 5+ years, I have earned awards such as being in Quarters at Harvard Debate Tournament, being the MC for the MSDA showcase for 4+ years, and being the high school chair & judge of the Shine a Light Speech contest. I’ve also spoke at other events such as alumni & grad seminars, the MSDA New Year’s party, etc. This year, I can't wait to make this club better and stronger with new, exciting ideas!

Hello! My name is Amy Liu, and I am very excited to be apart of kids toastmasters. Experiencing the students grow throughout the year has been a true pleasure. Beyond kids toastmasters, I am involved in leading for my school orchestra and local dance school. I serve as the classroom facilitator for the jchs chamber orchestra, and I hosted the orchestra talent show among other events. At my dance school, I help lead fun events for younger dancers and their parents. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, going to cafes, and playing the cello. I am looking forward to the new semester!

Hi everyone! I’m Blair. It is so fun watching kids gain confidence in their speeches, especially since I also went through the same journey of finding my voice.
