I am also a member of the Maryborough Toastmasters Club and am the VP Education for the club. ] In 2021, I was the Production Manager for our very first TedX Youth@SMCMBH. I coordinated speeches, organised mentor sessions, location and equipment as well as assisted with visual aides during production. I edited the videos to include the TedX logo and our logos at the end and uploaded them to the Ted website.
