I just finished serving three years with the Peace Corps in Mongolia and it's changed my life forever. I couldn't be prouder of my service or more grateful to the people I served with in my community. Serving others is an amazing adventure and I think this is just the beginning. I've started a new project called Advance Humanity because I believe each of us can be everyday humanitarians who change ourselves and change the world. With Advance Humanity I want to share great ideas with people all around the world, help others stay inspired, live simply, change themselves and change the world.

I am passionate about changing the world and making a difference, and I think it's something everyone can do. I started Advance Humanity because I believe each of us can be everyday humanitarians.

Working with an incredible team, we just finished organizing the first TEDx event in Mongolian history: TEDxUlaanbaatar. Now we are working on our second event in 2012.

I started by being captivated by TEDTalks here on TED.com. I dreamed of speaking at TED and worked with my friends to create the first TEDx event in Mongolia. Now we get to share that dream with millions of people around the country.
