Side by Side: Natasha Gadinsky at TEDxCoconutGrove

Tashi graduated from Ransom Everglades School in 2008, and Brown University in 2012 with a BA in Psychology. While at Brown, she also studied gender and sexuality and learned a smattering of three additional languages. A semester in Amsterdam pulled these disparate interests together. Tashi now lives in New York City and works as a case manager for individuals with HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses. Tashi is currently applying to graduate school for a doctorate in clinical psychology hoping to fulfill her dream of becoming a therapist. In her free time, Tashi enjoys cooking for friends, listening to dubstep, and discussing identity politics, midwifery, social justice, and cats.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
