TED Community

- stories, dreams of changing the world, exploring new & old places and tree climbing.

Technology

so many things, but I can't live without: Books- History, sci fi, fantasy, and biographies are my standbys. Adventure- Meandering through mountains and jumping off buildings are my favorites.

creating a world where every company embraces their opportunity and responsibility to give back to their communities. I contribute to this dream by mentoring founders who are developing tech enabled solutions to solving societal problems, connecting cultural creatives (artists, musicians, etc) with businesses to collaborate on raising awareness and funds for causes each support, and helping more traditional companies infuse purpose into their businesses. I support impactful organizations that provide women and minorities with equal access to education, capital, and economic opportunity, reproductive freedom, and solutions for greening our planet. I’m also passionate about skiing, surfing, a small island off the coast of Maine, and everything from the 70s.

I’m passionate about languages, cultures, and the power of communication to connect people across the world. I love exploring how ideas travel from one language to another and how translation and subtitling can make knowledge accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. I’m particularly interested in audiovisual content, because I believe that every talk, story, or piece of media has the potential to inspire, educate, and bring people together. Making ideas understandable across cultures is not just a professional interest for me, it’s a personal mission to help voices reach new audiences and foster empathy and understanding worldwide.
