Go Ahead, Knock Your Moss Off! | Zoe Manickam | TEDxYouth@FranklinSchoolOfInnovation

We look to nature to gain new perspectives on disruption and perhaps mitigate elements of disturbance. Zoe Manickam is an educator and outdoor leader who has spent years exploring ways to take the “disturbance” out of disruption. Zoe grew up in the US, Japan, Singapore, and India. After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Environmental Studies and minors in Marine Science and Music, she became a snowboard instructor, class V river guide and kayak tour guide. In 2010 Zoe joined the Peace Corps, working as a coastal resource management volunteer in Fiji. She then continued to travel the world, taking on jobs like cameleer in Australia’s outback and adventure guide in Tasmania. After earning an M.S. in Natural Resources with a focus in Residential Environmental Education from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, Zoe moved to Colorado to revel in its natural beauty and work as a youth program manager for two non-profits. She went on to teach high school science and is now thrilled to merge all her passions and experiences in the role of Director of Mountaineering at Asheville School. 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
