Landing a TEDx Talk w/ Christine Errico

Born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, Christine Errico has had more than 20 surgeries, was bullied in school and was told that she would never amount to anything because of her facial difference.

She faced workplace discrimination and struggled with self worth, self-confidence, and self acceptance. To get to where she is today, Christine developed resilience, self-confidence, and learned to accept her appearance.

After earning her PhD in accounting, Christine worked as a college professor for more than 12 years before becoming a certified confidence coach . She works with clients who have a cleft lip and palate or parents of children with a cleft lip and palate to help them improve their self-acceptance and self-esteem.

As an advocate for the cleft lip and palate community, Christine volunteers with Smile Train and shares her experiences growing up with a cleft lip and palate in her TEDx Talk and through motivational speaking.
