Mercedes Camps

Artist, Concerned citizen, Environmentalist, Lawyer, Project manager

Until recently, a lawyer practising in the field of healthcare management, with 15-year experience in corporate PR, project management, publications and events across Europe. At present, trying to find a new professional path that will help me develop socially-relevant issues via my work and life experience. Having lived in larger towns such as Brussels or Valencia, I have returned to my hometown in the South-East countryside of Spain. I remain an avid reader and listener of literature, blogs and talks from other countries and cultures, mainly European and Anglo-Saxon. I actively contribute to the defense of my surroundings and part of my time is devoted to helping others. I have worked as a voluntary translator in the past (www.towerofbabel.com) and I would welcome the chance of using my language skills in order to benefit such an interesting idea as TED.

Defending my little corner of the world and developping its community (Alicante's countryside), also restoring antiques and reading, anytime, anywhere.
