TED Community

I am deeply passionate about fostering a culture where people listen with the intent to truly understand one another. I believe that by actively seeking to learn from each other's experiences and perspectives, we can build a more informed and compassionate society. This approach not only enriches our knowledge but also strengthens our ability to collaborate and create positive change in our schools, communities, and the world at large. When we listen to understand, rather than to respond, we lay the foundation for a more inclusive, empathetic, and thriving environment for everyone.

Women empowering women. Women leaders in male dominated industries showing younger generations that women have a place at every table. Ensuring underserved children, especially girls, have their needs met so they can thrive in and out of the classroom. Women's health, I am an endometriosis and adenomyosis warrior. Endometriosis impacts 1 in 10 women and takes on average 10 years to clinically diagnose... there is something very wrong with that. I had the disease for approximately 15+ years before I was officially diagnosed in 2020. There is an abundance of misinformation surrounding women's health, and women are suffering needlessly because of it. Nature, I love nature, hiking, camping, picking up other people's trash, animals and farming. The outdoors is my ultimate happy place mountains, plains or seaside I don't care. It's so important to protect natural spaces and wild places. Our family is in the process of transitioning our ranch into a regenerative operation so we can play a small part in healing our earth.
