      <image:title>Meet The Team - Lexi Totten, Portland</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lexi Totten | Portland, OR Originally from beautiful Northern California, Lexi moved to the infamous Portland, OR last year alongside Skip the Small Talk! She believes one of the sweetest gifts of being human is the opportunity to listen to and learn from one another’s stories and experiences. Lexi is deeply passionate about spending time with children in the foster care system and teaching those with different abilities. Somehow, she has unexpectedly found herself working in higher education, advocating for other first-gen college students who are tackling similar challenges she did. In all areas of her life, she strives to create safe spaces for all to come as they are to feel seen, known &amp; cared for! If you are looking for an adventure buddy, Lexi is always outside – seeking new sunset spots, hiking, writing, and biking. She loves to learn and is constantly adding to her list of books to read, podcasts to listen to, and new places to travel!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet The Team - ANNA CHALFIN, CHICAGO (ONLINE EVENTS)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Anna Chalfin | Chicago, IL (Online Events) Anna took a class in undergrad that taught her ‘life wasn’t linear’ and she’s embraced that lesson ever since - always open to following the path that leads to making a positive impact, and one that brings out the ‘magic’ both personally and professionally. The ‘magic’ for Anna is engaging groups large and small, supporting individuals by meeting people where they are, and creating space for connection and growth. Currently working in corporate partnerships and event facilitation for a startup, she gets to put it all into action by helping teams connect on a deeper level outside of their day-to-day.  This same mentality is something Anna also embraces personally - living in Chicago, she is constantly on the lookout for new classes, events, and activities that will push her out of her comfort zone and allow her to meet new people. Stumbling upon Skip the Small Talk felt like such a serendipitous moment that brought it all full circle - and she’s very excited to be a host for our online events and create these magical moments for others all over as well.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Grace Campbell | Washington, D.C. Originally from the Boston area, Grace developed an appreciation for storytelling in high school when she spent three mornings each week listening to Senior Chapel Talks, a unique tradition where each student had the opportunity to address the entire school. This experience taught her the value of creating space for others to be vulnerable and authentic, and of using storytelling to strengthen communities and foster compassion. To explore her growing interest in human behavior, Grace studied anthropology and psychology in college, fascinated especially by the history and significance of social connections and the role they play in shaping our society. After receiving her B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis in 2020, she moved to Washington, D.C. at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, and found herself missing being present with others in meaningful, face-to-face conversations that she had previously taken for granted. She is thrilled to be hosting Skip the Small Talk events in D.C. and hopes that those who attend can engage in conversations that leave you feeling contemplative, inspired, and hopefully a little more human.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet The Team - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sylvie Nemeth | Seattle, WA Sylvie is a born and raised Seattleite who is committed to challenging the "Seattle Freeze" through Skip the Small Talk events. She prioritizes empathy in her facilitation, and is attentive to guests' needs, committed to ensuring that everyone feels seen and welcomed. In her day job as a corporate recruiter, she strives to bring similar authenticity and warmth to a notoriously impersonal job seeking process. In her spare time, Sylvie loves birdwatching, singing with her choir, and performing at local open mic nights.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet The Team - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bre Clark | Nashville, TN Texas-born-and-raised and a few sidequests later, Bre made Nashville her home the summer of 2020. She spent the last decade collecting social work degrees and working in the aging space. After spending many years leading and coordinating programs for older adults, Bre is very invested in being an older person in training and has a strong systems perspective. A recovering non-profit manager, Bre is now an aspiring Death Doula and very passionate about supporting those at the end of their life through care, advocacy, and ritual. Thinking and learning about death completely transformed her life's journey, which brought her to Skip the Small Talk's doorstep.  Bre has long been a fan of deep, intentional, and even taboo conversations. As a facilitator, she is most focused on supporting trauma-informed spaces and putting people at ease. She believes empathy, real social connection, and opportunities to be present and seen could heal the world. No big deal, right? You can often find Bre practicing yoga, taking too many pictures of her mini dachshund, drinking an extra dirty martini, reading in her backyard, listening to live music with her partner of ten years, or eating/thrifting her way through Nashville.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Emily Faber | Boston, MA Emily recently moved to Boston from Pittsburgh and loves it! However, she knows first hand how hard it is to make genuine connections in a new city. She went to Skip The Small Talk and it helped her so much she decided to facilitate it for others. She hopes to bring delightfulness, positivity, and excitement to every event she facilitates. She is a customer success manager at a tech company by day and petting her cat and exploring Boston neighborhoods by night. She is so excited she is a part of the Skip The Small Talk team!</image:caption>
