I am the director of TEDx Lansing in Lansing Michigan. We had our first event on May 21, 2010 with 500 attendees. With the help of an amazing group of volunteers and a previous TED attendee, we exceeded all of our wildest expectations and put on a game changing event for the Greater Lansing region.

Baking. I love it!
