Bio
Maryam Pasha
I've had the privilege of working with Tara closely over the past three years on a number of different projects and events. Tara is creative, smart and approaches everything she does with an amazing attitude. She has been able to learn and adapt to the changing needs of our work effortlessly. Over the years Tara has expertly managed speaker relationships, developed her skills in storytelling and coaching, stepped up to project manage a publication, skilfully run social media and comms for events and organisations and learned how to produce podcasts, edit graphics and manage websites. The bread and scope of her skills and her ability to work effectively and sensitively with diverse people makes her an asset to any team.

Head Of Communications

Sep 2021 - Present
As the Head of Communications, I'm committed to amplifying diverse and traditionally underrepresented individuals, organisations and ideas. Focusing on storytelling, strategy and content creation, I aim to share the stories of TEDxLondon’s speakers and their ideas worth spreading to our community and beyond. I started volunteering on the TEDxLondon team as the Speaker Curation Manager and supported over 70 speakers to develop and deliver their talks. I took on the Communications Manager role in 2020 and took on leadership of TEDxLondon's communications in 2021 with a wonderful team of volunteers.
