Choosing a Mission in Life | Marjorie Abalos | TEDxLaSierraUniversity November 10, 2017
“Pick something that you are passionate and enthusiastic about that will permit you to utilize skill sets unique to you.”
On November 10, 2017, Marjorie Abalos was one of the speakers selected to deliver a talk on her “Great Undone” at TEDxLaSierraUniversity in Southern California on her life’s experience trying to find a purpose as a woman, an immigrant, and a person who truly wanted to make a difference in the world. Marjorie and her family found their way to the United States with little money, English, or knowledge of what they were getting into, but a desire to participate in the American Dream. However, through persistence and grit, she attended college and began a career as a successful tech entrepreneur. She applied her skills and experiences not only to business but also to doing good for the world through the CLODS System™ and her work in global health coupled with the initiatives she has created at Out4Good.

“As a biomedical / biochemical engineer whose ‘mission in life’ is to improve the delivery of healthcare, I can assure you, that some of the most recent cancer research breakthroughs, such as boosting our body’s immune system, utilizing therapeutic viruses, and the nanoparticle revolution, give us renewed evidence-based hope, that we are now well into, the end of the beginning of our quest, to successfully treat cancer, which is not a single disease, but at least 200, each of them very distinct.“
