Hey! I’m the Coordinator of TEDxYouth@RICS. I am 18 years old, and a senior at Riverwood International Charter School. I play lacrosse, I love sailing and fishing, and am a huge Game of Thrones enthusiast. I’m also a huge fan of TED, and could not be more excited to host our own TEDxYouth event!

Good day! I'm the Website and Social Media manager for TEDxYOUTH@RICS team, and will be co-Event Manager the day of the conference (do you like the website? It's like a child to me). I'm a senior here at Riverwood. Other interests include heavy involvement in music both inside of school and outside- I'm a trombonist and percussionist- and a love of drawing.

I am Hal Olson, the videographer for this TEDxYouth event. In my time left unconsumed by school, I can probably be found reading, writing, or practicing music. I love learning new things, and this event should provide a wonderful means through which to do so.

Ms. Diane Kopkas is the IB Coordinator at Riverwood International Charter High School, and the Co-Titleholder of TEDxYouth@RICS. While she isn't involved directly in the organization or construction of this event, she is- on the administrative end- vital to our existence. Thank you for working with us!
