About Maggie

I am a…

Athlete, Connector, Consultant, Entrepreneur, Event planner, Musician, Performer

Bio

My ‘true north’ leads me to anything related to gathering and connecting people. I revamped TEDxChattanooga beginning in 2019 (ask me why). I also founded a free music festival in Chattanooga as well as an international surf and adventure retreat company. I’m from Atlanta, GA but currently love and live in Chattanooga, TN. I love adventure, travel, music, and community.

I'm passionate about

Live music. Making music. Organizing events that bring community together. Good food, wine, and beer — ‘breaking bread’ is essential to relationship-building. Social justice.

An idea worth spreading

Adoption in the USA needs major reform.

Things you might not know

Instead of people not knowing what I’m good at, how about this: people don’t know I went to seminary and hold a M.Div. 👀
