TED Community

I am deeply committed to giving back to my community and making a positive impact on society. My passion is in fostering volunteerism, tolerance, creativity, and social responsibility. I strive to inspire others to engage in social reform and work collaboratively toward a better world for all.

Reading, Baking, listening to music, playing video games, and learning about genetics (mutations, epigenetics, and cancer)

Exploring the world around us. Geology, and long term processes shaping our planet, life and society. Establishing a better community. Enjoy our stay on planet Earth.

Music, family, learning new things (especially thanks to others), opportunity through education, public service media, porches (preferably facing lakes).

using music as a way of expressing unpalatable things in a palatable way. I'm passionate about human connection and using music as way of discovering new or hidden things about others. I'm passionate about giving a voice, through music, to those who may not have a voice.

Speaking, communicating with people from all around the world, studying and using languages (duh!) and writing. I'm also obsessed with the idea of perfection and the possibility of a realistic Utopia.
