“Public speaking is the art of diluting a two-minute idea with a two-hour vocabulary”

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Greetings everyone, my name is Patrick. I am a graduate student majoring in Instructional Technology with a concentration in Instructional Design. I have a bachelor’s degree in Communications Studies from Towson, graduated in 2017. I have enjoyed public speaking for well over 30 years and have competed in local, state, and national competitions and have also coached the speech and debate team at Calvert Hall. I am retired from the U.S. Army after 21 years of service and have served as a military instructor for over 6 of those years.  I am really looking forward to working with you to improve your public speaking skills.

Christeen Fernando, Consultant

“I love helping other students improve their communication skills. It is awesome to have a PCC on campus where students can work with their peers to improve their skills in a friendly environment. Having strong public speaking skills can be essential to sharing your ideas effectively, building your confidence, and inspiring others with your words. Outside of the PCC, I enjoy kickboxing, playing ukulele, and going on fun trips.”

When I’m not working at the PCC or taking classes, I’m usually playing/watching sports like hockey or basketball, hanging out with friends and swimming in the summer.”
