What do you do when you are not working on TEDx? I own Seacoast Moms, a local website serving parents in the area. We offer hyper local digital advertising as well as host events for families. I also have 3 daughters, a husband, 2 cats and an obsession with yoga! I love to write, read, listen to Taylor Swift, and go to bed early.

Favorite TED Talk ever: I loved Nora McInerney’s talk on grief. She’s able to dance between the light and the dark– the humor and the tragedy of life.

Favorite part of TEDxPortsmouth: Being in “the room where it happens”. Helping people be a part of shaping their message is so exciting. I love being a part of the creative process and encouraging people to refine their big idea.

And, if you could see any historical figure, living or dead, give a TED Talk who would it be and what would they talk about? This is an impossible question! So many people! I’d love to hear from someone prolifically creative about HOW they get inspired. But I’d want that person to also have a chaotic and busy life, like mine, so I could take their insight to heart. Someone like the poet Kate Baer or the musician Josh Ritter. I’m obsessed with people who are good with words and I want to hear about how they give themselves space to create in a chaotic world.
