Meet a Member Monday
Kate Domenichella (our new President)

Kate Domenichella joined Toastmasters in May 2023. She is the 2023-2024 VP of Membership for the Shrewsbury Toastmasters Club and our incoming President for the 2024-2025 year. Kate is an expert-level information developer (a fancy way of saying technical writer!) and a Certified Scrum Master for Hewlett Packard Enterprise, where she has worked since January 2021. She has over 8 years of experience working in the high-tech industry. Kate graduated from Fitchburg State University in May 2016 with a BA in English Studies with a concentration in Professional Writing and a minor in Communications. Kate became a Toastmaster to improve her confidence in speaking in front of others in both professional and personal settings. She facilitates daily meetings at work, prepares presentations and demos, and communicates with coworkers worldwide. Her manager has remarked that Kate's presentation delivery has improved with the Shrewsbury Toastmasters (including her use of "um"!). When Kate isn't working on technical documentation or practicing her public speaking, you can find her coaching and training at Total Fitness & Nutrition in West Boylston; hanging with her 2 kitties, Lou and Grey; spending time with family and friends; listening to metalcore and deathcore; and spending time at the beach reading the latest thrillers.
