Using a World Class Education Where it is Needed Most: Caitlin Floreal at TEDxVirginiaTech

Caitlin McHale Floreal graduated from Virginia Tech in 2006 with a Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies: Leadership & Social Change. During her junior year, she created a student organization called Project Esperanza, which later became a non-profit organization and has been the focus of her life ever since graduating. She currently lives in Puerto Plata, a town in the Dominican Republic, where her non-profit work has led her to unite the town with Blacksburg through service, creating positive change in both communities. Today, multiple projects are going on to improve Puerto Plata, a community that is very far-off from the comfort of our own homes, and she hopes to see more people use their world-class education applied in places where people need it most. About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
