Bio

I am TED Open Translation Project Language Coordinator. One day, after flipping through a couple of pages of "The long Tail" in a bookstore, Jenny Googled. the author's name, Chris Anderson, and ended up listening to another Chris Anderson share his vision for TED. Ever since, she became a TED addict, spending untold hours of her life diving into the sea of ideas and knowledge. She put the talks on her blog, introduced TED at work and schools and translated TEDTalks before the Open Translation Project existed. For Jenny, TED connected all the dots and translating TEDTalks helped her regain her inner voice. She was a journalist in China, but currently works for Motorola as a product manager. She enjoys working at the intersection of culture, education, media, and technology.
