The Power of Choice | Mallory Garneau | TEDxCSU

“Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you (John C. Maxwell)”. Looking through several lenses, we explore the power that choice has in our lives and others, and the strength and importance of community. Mallory Garneau came to CSU in 2009 from her home in Highlands Ranch as an undeclared major, but it was her experience studying abroad that solidified her interest in making real-world change. She studied sustainable community development at Stellenbosch University, a prestigious institution just 45 minutes inland from Cape Town in South Africa. After receiving a bachelor’s in social work at CSU, she spent time teaching 3rd grade English in Thailand. When she returned to the U.S.,she gained her master’s degree in social work at CSU, all while interning at three different nonprofits in Fort Collins, one of which was FoCo Cafe.Less than a year into her internship, the position of executive director was offered and accepted. Mallory now oversees all Operations there. Through all of this, she found herself enriched by experiences that taught the true meaning and importance of community.Her heart is tucked away in this non-profit cafe where beautiful healthy meals bring all people together. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
