Kristen Silvas

Christian, Designer, Educator/Teacher, World traveler

As a teacher with nearly 17 years of experience and over a decade spent living abroad, I have witnessed firsthand the power of stories, ideas, and diverse perspectives to transform how people think and learn. Teaching has honed my ability to identify voices that matter, amplify meaningful messages, and create spaces where dialogue leads to growth. My experience teaching AP Seminar has honed my ability to guide students in questioning assumptions, analyzing complex issues, and communicating their ideas with clarity and impact. These same skills—adaptability, creativity, and resilience—developed through my global journey in education, seamlessly translate into the role of a TEDx Curator. Just as I cultivate curiosity and critical thinking in the classroom, I bring that same energy to curating ideas that challenge, inspire, and connect people across cultures. My global journey in education has further equipped me with adaptability, creativity, and resilience—qualities essential to elevating bold ideas on a global stage. Passionate about education, innovation, and storytelling, I am committed to ensuring that every TEDx experience is not only engaging and dynamic but also transformative in the way it sparks dialogue and fosters change.
