From choosing a venue and curating to coaching speakers and launching marketing campaigns, I have quite a bit of experience in planning events including TEDxPacificU. In 2019, I worked in a team of 14 to plan, organize and execute a TEDx conference. For about a year, I wore multiple hats. As speech coach, I helped 8 speakers outline, draft and present their speeches. As event marketing coordinator, I developed our social media and marketing strategies. On March 16, 2019, we hosted a successful event with 8 speakers, 3 performers and an audience of about 300.
