Hi, I’m Pari Patel, and I serve as the Executive Producer for TEDxTempleUniversity. I’m passionate about understanding people, creating meaningful connections, and using psychology to make a positive impact in my community. My experiences in mental health advocacy, research, and student leadership have shaped my interest in how people think, feel, and connect. I believe every person has a unique perspective, and sometimes all it takes is the right platform and the right audience for an idea to create change. I’m excited to be part of TEDx because it brings together curiosity, creativity, and conversations that can inspire people beyond the event itself.
