Andrew is a Registered Nurse living in Mantua, New Jersey. He works in Hospitals, Nursing Homes and long-term care facilities.
Andrew's married to Melanie, also an RN and has a (almost 8) daughter Autumn.
He joined Toastmasters because he has to speak to patients, doctors, healthcare professionals on a daily basis at work. Even though it is something he does frequently, he still gets butterflies and nervous at times. He's hoping that Toastmasters will help him feel more comfortable, confident speaking in front of groups, large/small.
One aspect of Toastmasters he enjoys is that the group is supportive, non-judgemental and allows him to improve his skills at his own pace.
