Lauren Barnett

Brainstormer, Change Agent, Connector, Explorer, Public servant, Student

Lauren is a self-described TED fanatic, with colleagues sick of her sending them links to various TED Talks. TEDxYouth@Armadale is Lauren's first TED event and allows her to share her excitement for the brand with the local community and give young people a platform to share their ideas. Much like icon Hannah Montana, Lauren spends her time in the best of both worlds. By day, Lauren is a Community Development Officer for the City of Armadale with a focus on community safety, youth development, and access and inclusion. By night, Lauren is a student of a Masters of Criminology specialising in Intelligence and Terrorism. Lauren believes that passion, hard work and kindness will get you anywhere.
