VP.  Education

Contact: education@vetc.ca

Ryan Spencer is a teacher, writer, and aspiring public speaker. When not trying to organize, systematize, adapt or invent something for the club, he moonlights as one of VETC's VP(s) of Education. Ryan is currently on a quest to have coffee with every member of the club and although this might be a thinly disguised cover for indulging in his caffeine addiction, the truth is he enjoys nothing more than getting to meet people where they are at and to find out more about he can help them on their journey as Toastmasters.
