Live from San Francisco in association with TEDWomen, and locally with amazing speakers, panel discussion, and performances.
Marketing professional, women advocate, speaker, mentor, wellness enthusiast, and unabashed believer in the power of authenticity.
In September 2016, I joined Deloitte as a Marketing Specialist in their SHINE rotational program. In this role, I work with various marketing and communications teams across Deloitte, serving internal and external clients.
Prior to joining Deloitte, I attended the University of Southern California. I earned a B.S. in Business Administration and graduated with Honors and with the Global Scholar distinction. I have dedicated my time in college to the prosperity, opportunity, and growth of young women at USC and in the neighboring Los Angeles community. I am the USC chapter founder of I AM THAT GIRL, a non-profit organization aimed at empowering girls to love, be, and express who they are. Other highlights from college include giving a TEDx talk, being a USC Song Girl, mentoring young women in WYSE, studying abroad in Budapest, and joining a sorority. I am originally from Dallas, Texas.

Come explore time zones, time travel, time outs and times together. We will explore the conventions and challenges of time.
We will ask the hard questions. Because isn’t IT ABOUT TIME:
To find long-term solutions to climate change, poverty, immigration, violence, race, gender and economic inequities?
We have invited stimulating local speakers, who are pioneers in their work or communities, to tell us about how they have harnessed time for their cause.
Food and light refreshments will be served
TEDxLA brings the spirit of the TED conference to Los Angeles, and more than a host city, the city of angels will provide a unique sandbox for unmatched experiences and an opportunity to bring the world in a unique and beautiful setting all around the city.
