Introducing Daniela Freeman

Daniela Freeman
 Fellow Toastmasters we would like to introduce a new contributor to this blog. She shares a love of Toastmasters with us all and is a member of Park Ten Talkers. Fortunately for us she also enjoys writing.
 
Daniela Freeman graduated Summa Cum Laude from University of Houston in 2006 with a B.A. in English Literature. We are grateful to have such talent contributing here and we eagerly anticipate her contributions.


Daniela has been a member of Toastmasters since 2007. She joined fresh out of college, with no public speaking experience or formal leadership training. Toastmasters has helped her soar; she has since earned her Advanced Leader Bronze and an Advanced Communicator Bronze.

She has served in a number of club officer roles, and was Area Governor for N-26 this past year, working with the Westlakers, Speak Up 900, Talking Heads, and Gulf Pipeline Speakers Toastmasters clubs.

"I am currently in the process of writing my first book, a combination science fiction and fantasy tale about the ambiguous nature of “good” and “evil” in human beings. "

Daniela works at NACE International, a nonprofit association dedicated to corrosion prevention and control.  She works with their publishing team as an Audience Development Manager and has been in this position for about a year.

Prior to that she worked at NACE as Manager of Technical Committees. During this time, she worked for Linda Goldberg, a DTM who is a member of both Katy Toastmasters and Park 10 Takers. Daniela will testify that Linda is an excellent mentor professionally and as a Toastmaster.

Some more items of interest about Daniela in her own words:

"My hobbies include cooking, drawing/painting, and I am going to be trying my hand (or rather, my foot) at kickboxing soon.  The love of my life (besides my husband) is writing—I am currently in the process of writing my first book, a combination science fiction and fantasy tale about the ambiguous nature of “good” and “evil” in human beings."

Welcome aboard, Daniela !
