I was not always a dreamer even though I believe everyone has the capacity to dream. I used to lack the ability to see beyond the confines of my reality, and I resigned to a life of mediocrity as I struggled to attain my desired high expectations.

When I discovered my voice, I realized that I had something to say, and gained the confidence to speak while people stopped to tune in and listen. This experience initiated the desire and pursuit of my dreams and ideas. 
I enjoyed empowering others to share their ideas which aligned well with TED mission!
