Gabriela Mino
TEDxKeyBiscayne Organizer
Founder & Creative Director at Rakpack
My passions are design and education. The sole thought of bringing an idea to life fascinates me. I value the design process and all the work that hides behind the final product. I am also a true believer in education, especially early financial education in women and lower-income groups. One of my favorite quotes by American businessman Charlie Munger is: “The best thing a human being can do is to help another human being know more.”
I was fortunate enough to accompany my husband during his MBA studies at Harvard University, where I held the position of Event Organizer for the Latin American Club for two years. While there, I was able to participate in the production of multiple events, including the annual Latin American Conference which hosts several worldwide speakers. I also had the opportunity to attend many talks at Harvard and I am now convinced that the exchange of ideas is the way to make the world a better place.
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, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection.
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.)
