I grew up in a small town in Alabama, but was never limited by my geographic location. Throughout my life, I was encouraged to travel and learn as much as possible. I continue to learn and grow by being a part of TEDxBirmingham where I can help others in my community experience things that, before, seemed out of reach.

the rejuvenation of downtown areas and communities.

I was lucky enough to be invited to hear a TEDx sponsor speak about the great things this newly formed organization was doing in my community. I volunteered for every TEDxBirmingham event after that was asked to join the core team in 2015.
