Anisha ChawlaVice President of ResourcesHi, my name is Anisha and I’m a rising senior at Cupertino High School. Public speaking is an excellent skill that is needed throughout your whole life. Not only does it improve communication skills, but it also boosts self-esteem and confidence. I believe exposing kids to public speaking at a young age is important so they are more comfortable with speaking in front of a crowd and can master this necessary skill. I am excited to have been a part of this organization and help make this happen!
