“The more you know, the more you know you don’t know” - Aristotle
“This sums up TED to me.  Every time I watch a talk, it opens up a whole new world that I want to explore.”

Director of Volunteers and Interns, TEDxNavesink

Elizabeth is a bilingual, dual nationality French-American.  She has lived and worked in San Francisco, Sydney, Paris, London, and Fair Haven , NJ.  Her professional background in Human Resources range from embassies to the huge retail store Selfridges in London, England.  With her super smart husband and 3 tolerant children, she has (mostly legally) travelled the world, from the dunes of Namibia to the ruins of Peru and the backstreets of Havana, Cuba- usually with just a backpack and a change of clothes.  These experiences have done nothing to quench her thirst for adventure and knowledge, but drive her to know more- which is why she has been a TEDhead for many years.  

Elizabeth is thrilled to offer her services as the Director of Interns and Volunteers to ensure that the event is properly staffed with a variety of local talent, and that everyone is working towards the common goal of presenting a world-class TEDx.  She is determined to make sure that each member of the team is getting as much out of the experience as they give.
