Area 90 Director

I am Toastmaster Berndera Hepburn, and I have been apart of the Toastmasters program for approximately 9 years (since 2016). During my time here, I have grown a great love and passion for Communication, Public, and Motivational Speaking. I have served on multiple Executive Boards within various Clubs such as, Freeport Eagles (1425), BPSU Excellers (5183408), Destiny Lions (839960). I am currently the President of BPSU Excellers. I believe in the Toastmasters program, and that it can transform anyone who fully commit to it. As Denzel Washington once said, “Without commitment you’ll never start, but without consistency, you will never finish.” In addition, I am an External Sales Agent at First Care Medical Insurance and the President of a young girls Club called Precious Oasis Pearls (P.O.P). I am a student at University of the Bahamas (CeLearn). I am studying to obtain my Certification in Early Childhood Education. I believe in success, and Toastmasters International inspires you to do just that, SUCCEED!
