TEDxYouth@Hewitt - Carolyn Gregoire

Carolyn Gregoire is the Assistant Editor of Huffington Post High School, The Huffington Post's new section dedicated to teens and the issues that are important to them. She studied philosophy at McGill University in Montreal, graduating with distinction and first-class honors. After a stint as Arts & Entertainment Editor of her college newspaper, she went on to intern at BlackBook Magazine, Seventeen, and Vanity Fair. With a passion for interviewing and arts & culture journalism, she's been thrilled to have the opportunity to interview talents such as Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Renner, SNL cast member Chris Kattan, Grammy nominee Natasha Bedingfield, and indie band The Temper Trap. Her writing has appeared in undergraduate journals of philosophy and sociology, and such publications as The McGill Tribune, BlackBook Magazine, seventeen.com, midnightpoutine.ca, BettyConfidential.com, and the Huffington Post. Shortly after graduating and moving to New York City, she began her career at the Huffington Post. She is now thrilled to have the opportunity to support high school journalists and provide teens with a platform to share their voices. 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)
