The TED story
While I've volunteered to help TEDxChicago produce a series of successful events, I know I have a TED Talk or two in me. Who knows you may see me on stage instead of backstage someday!

Singing and Dance. I'm also strangely good at seeing interpersonal dynamics in groups. Where they get stuck and how to get them flowing again.
