The TED story
I got involved in TEDx to connect with my community. First as a volunteer and then I was asked to produce our event. I attended my first TED event virtually during the pandemic, and then this year loved being at TED in person. While I'd love to present on the TED or TEDx stage, I believe my contribution as the producer of TEDxSonoma County gives me the opportunity to give back in a larger capacity. My specialty is helping our speakers refine their "big idea" and then coaching them to given the best presentation of their life.
