Participated on stage at my hospital system employer's first TEDxOchsner event in 2019, speaking about the importance of advance directives in my TEDx talk entitled "How to Create Less Suffering." That opportunity was one of my life's most significant speaking experiences, and I've been a TEDx enthusiast ever since!
