The TED story
I started out as a TEDx speaker, presenting at my school's second annual TEDxYouth@FAIHS event. Speaking on the pitfalls of our modern-day education system in America, I found myself drawn to the actual event planning process of the TEDx event. I joined my school's organizing team the next year, working as the Website/Marketing Manager. This year, I am co-organizing the same event in February 2018 and am excited to create an event that spreads excellent ideas from my community and beyond!
