TEDx Asheville
Serving as Lead Coordinator for TEDx Asheville from 2021 aligns my values of serving community with my lifetime skills of personal expression, theater, speaking, and community building. It’s a perfect intersection of all the things I love. In this volunteer role, I set the vision of the organization, mobilize a team, and select and support speakers, and produce a full day event.
