I found myself captivated by the concept of TED after watching only a few videos on fascinating topics which challenged my thoughts and stimulated creative exploration. Since then, it became a mission of mine to both attend a TED Event and to organize a TEDx Event. As a person who has overcome a great deal of adversity, having survived unfathomable circumstances, I realize that I personally could never learn enough, or possibly be challenged enough to feel as I have reached any goal. My fascination with TED talks continues to feed my imagination, my intellect and my seemingly endless thirst for knowledge and desire to test my own beliefs and thoughts on diverse subjects. In "diving deeper," I organized TEDxSunRiver in 2012. I was determined that a single person would not leave the conference without feeling challenged to the point of questioning their core beliefs and values, enough that they would feel inspired from a place they hardly knew existed within themselves.

Singing. I typically sing while I am alone. I have often imagined myself shocking a group of people I know one day at an event at which I would sing my heart out.
