As a non-profit program coordinator, I seek to contribute to my community by increasing educational, networking and leadership opportunities for women and minorities in the legal community of Portland.

Building communities. Helping others to match their passion with the right tools to help them succeed.

I began by watching TED Ed videos and then the obsession quickly spiraled from there, and I soon began watching a few during my morning routine. It is fascinating to see some of my favorite authors and public figures , etc. bringing forth ideas worth sharing. When I found out that my new city had a Tedx event, I knew I had to be involved. I was able to contribute my skills and experience as a speaker coach. I came full circle as a TEDxHuntsville organizer; I got to finally use my obsessive organizational skills! Huntsville is growing and becoming a eclectic and energized community. It is a melting pot of engineers, scientists, computer geeks, math nerds, astronauts, brewers, bakers and tea makers from all over the globe engaging in things that they find exciting and new. I was excited to help share new ideas from this growing Southern gem. Now I get to continue to share ideas by being on advisory committees and mentoring new TEDx organizers. I love that the TED community provides so many opportunities to contribute!

I make a crazy-good omelette.
