Retired Murrieta schoolteacher Karen Robertson has lived in the Temecula Valley since 1971. At that time she was one of five teachers at Murrieta's one and only school, which covered Kindergarten through eighth grade. Her husband, Barry Robertson, was one of the last cowboys to work on the Vail Ranch. Karen has held a number of positions since then, including administrator, writer, real estate sales agent, speaker, clown, and stand-up comedian. She brings history, comedy, and an understanding of life to TEDxTemecula.

Karen Robertson, long-time Temecula Valley resident, will make you laugh and cry as she brings forth four important reasons why humor should be a part of every person's life . . . but only if they want to be healthier and happier.

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)
