In March of 2021, I had the opportunity to give my TEDx Talk at Lake-Sumer State College. My talk, "How Dying Showed Me the Power of Stories," expressed the influence that stories had on my life when I was faced with a sudden-death experience and how I was able to overcome them to push forward stronger in life.
