TEDx Organizers

I’m passionate about people, connection, and expansion - helping others discover what lights them up and watching that energy ripple out into the world. I love creating spaces where ideas collide and something bigger comes alive. Whether it’s on a TEDx stage, in a business strategy session, or during a conversation over coffee, I’m always drawn to that spark - the moment someone realizes, "Oh… I can do this. I can be this." Through TEDxStLouis, I’ve seen how one idea, when shared with heart and purpose, can shift entire communities. It’s not just about events or talks; it’s about creating an experience that changes how people see themselves and what’s possible. That transformation, when curiosity turns into courage, is what keeps me coming back year after year. I’m also passionate about energy - how it shows up in business, leadership, and communication. Through my work in Synergy Journey Sessions, I help people align their actions with their true selves. When that alignment happens, business feels natural, collaboration flows, and opportunities start finding you instead of the other way around. At my core, I’m a connector. I love introducing people who can help each other grow, watching partnerships form, and seeing ideas expand in ways none of us could have done alone. I believe the future belongs to “we-thinkers” - those who build with intention, lead with heart, and know that synergy is the new currency of innovation. Primarily, I’m passionate about helping people remember their power - to create, connect, and contribute something meaningful. I believe in doing work that feels alive, that makes the world just a little brighter, and that reminds us all we’re in this together. That’s what fuels me. That’s why I do what I do.

I am passionate about organizing event and connecting with like-minded people. I love discovering new cultures and bringing people together through empowering events.

I believe that with collective efforts and resilience, we can transform this world into a better place for all living beings. So I'm passionate about being kind to people, creative problem solving, art, science, learning, and anything that’s a healthy challenge.

I’m passionate about creating meaningful opportunities—ones that don’t just spark inspiration on stage, but ripple behind the scenes, into the lives of those who build the experience from the ground up. TEDxUniversitasAirlangga, for me, is more than an event; it’s a living space for empowerment—a place where ideas are not only heard, but lived, shared, and embodied by every hand that touches the process. I believe that the true power of TEDx doesn’t lie only in the spotlight—it also exists in the quiet hours of planning, the late-night reflections, the moments of doubt, and the courage to keep going anyway. I want every committee member to feel that they are not merely executing a program, but becoming part of a culture—one that values creativity, collaboration, vulnerability, and growth. A culture where we are more than just colleagues—we are co-dreamers, co-learners, and co-creators. My passion is rooted in the idea that learning is a lifelong, infinite cycle. Not the kind confined to books or lectures, but the kind that emerges when we truly listen—to ideas, to others, and to ourselves. I believe in the kind of learning that humbles you, challenges your assumptions, and invites you to become more than who you were yesterday. Through TEDxUniversitasAirlangga 2025 and our theme “Within the Shadeline,” I want to build an ecosystem where every person—audience, team, speaker, and partner—walks away with something deeper: a new question, a renewed sense of purpose, or a rediscovered part of themselves. Because I believe the best kind of event doesn’t just end—it echoes, transforms, and lingers in the hearts of those who dared to be part of it.
