TREASURER

Chinatsu is the club's financial ninja, silently slashing through the jungle of expenses to ensure the Club stays financially fit and fabulous.

Originally from Japan, Chinatsu has traveled to various corners of the world over the past 15 years, including Australia, Zambia, Sudan, South Sudan, Nepal, Kazakhstan, and the US, before finally settling in Thailand. Life abroad has been a transformative experience, broadening her perspectives in ways she never could have imagined.

One unexpected adventure that unfolded in Nepal was her foray into public speaking. Joining the Shangri-La Toastmasters in Kathmandu in 2016 marked the beginning of her journey as a toastmaster. This journey continued as she relocated to Kazakhstan and joined the Almaty Toastmasters. 

What resonates deeply with Chinatsu about Toastmasters is its ethos of continuous improvement. Regardless of one's proficiency in public speaking, there's always room to grow, and feedback is welcomed with open arms. This philosophy mirrors her approach to life, instilling in her the mindset of constant learning and self-improvement.

During her free time, Chinatsu enjoys spending quality time with her family and playing the piano and tennis.
