I joined TEDxPortsmouth in 2018 and have been committed to ensuring its strength and sustainability since. As a producer, my skill set enables our organization to 'learn and apply' year over year, retain team members, strengthen partnerships, and remain relevant, engaging, and sought after. It is a must-attend regional event that sells out quickly-- our record is 25 minutes! Thanks to my partner in TEDx, Anna Goldsmith, and our speaker team, out high-quality talks are regularly promoted to the TEDx global audience and/or pulled up to big TED.

Fixing just about anything!
