Ariana shares her approach to tackling each day’s problems with a solution-minded point of view, what she calls a “Figure-it-out-able” outlook. The talk is rooted in the actions we take and something that is familiar to all: challenges. Challenges come in all shapes and sizes and can be our collective common denominator. Our choice, then, is in how we approach each challenge with a solution minded framework. Ariana is a native of Washington, D.C., but has proudly called Memphis her home for the past 6 years. She currently works at the University of Memphis as a part of the University Schools team that helps to oversee the youngest Tigers. When not cheering on the Tigers, Ariana loves supporting the Memphis Grizzlies and FC901, playing ultimate frisbee through the Memphis Ultimate Disc Association, traveling with her partner, and baking all the breads. Ariana is fueled by the thought that there is a solution to everything… and coffee. 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
