π€ Meet the Team: Kira Morehouse
Communication Co-Lead
π Manchester, NH
Kira Morehouse stumbled into TEDxAmoskeagMillyard more than a decade ago as a curious newcomer to New Hampshire. She live-tweeted quotes from a local TEDx live stream. That spontaneous act of enthusiasm led to an invitation for her to volunteer in 2011.
Now serving as Communication Co-Lead, Kira helps shape the voice of TEDxAM across platforms, using her background in marketing and storytelling to ensure bold ideas reach the audiences who need them most. She’s especially drawn to moments of shared insight—the kind that make you smile, shift perspective.
β¨ Why TEDx?
“Because ideas can build bridges—and TEDx brings together people who care about meaning, growth, and connection. I love being part of that.”
π‘ Favorite TEDxAmoskeagMillyard Talk:
Need Help? Ask a 2-Year-Old is a talk that brings Kira right back to the early days of her TEDx journey, when she was raising two small kids while discovering a creative community in her new hometown. (Watch it on our YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/-qul57hcu4I?si=saKjlZwowaZSze1M)
When she’s not writing content or collaborating with the team, you can find her spending time with her family and friends, volunteering in the community, or somewhere engaged in deep conversation with curiosity leading the way.
