Hear Katherine E. Morrison, Ph.D. deliver the speech that earned her Third Place honors at this year's World Championship of public Speaking.

 

"Don't Believe Them Baby"

 

Inspired by the works of gifted speakers such as Maya Angelou, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr., Katherine Morrison originally joined Toastmasters in 1999 to improve her skills as a public speaker.  She received her CTM that very same year.  Since that time, Katherine has had many opportunities to use the skills that she has gained as a Toastmaster.  She has been a teacher, a scholar, and an inspirational speaker to a number of organizations.  She graduated in 2003 with a doctorate in Public Health from the University of South Carolina.  She is currently an Assistant Professor at Curry College (Milton, MA).

 

In 2005 Katherine was the first place winner of the District 31 Humorous Speech contest.  In 2008, she was the first-place winner of first the District 31 and then the Region 7 International Speech Contest.  On August 16th 2008, out of 25,000 contestants, Katherine placed 3rd at the World Championship of Public Speaking.  She also helped to make history as this was the first time in Toastmasters that two women placed in the top three at this prestigious competition.
