I am passionate about creating spaces where community and innovation converge, fostering environments that not only challenge existing paradigms but also inspire new ones. At TEDxCooksHill, my aim is to harness the unique spirit and intellectual potential of Newcastle, transforming it into a hub for global ideas. I believe in the power of connection—bringing together diverse voices to share, learn, and grow. This passion extends into my entrepreneurial ventures, where I am committed to developing sustainable solutions that make everyday life better while protecting our planet. Both professionally and personally, my passion drives me to lead, inspire, and contribute to a more thoughtful world.

I am passionate about building products that people can use. This is what propelled me to build SevaConnect - a startup I had launched three years ago, aimed at connecting nonprofits to volunteers. I am excited by the power of technology to change people’s lives, and want to be part of creating something innovative that changes people’s lives. I also love being on stage- be it theatre or public speaking. For me, there is something fascinating about the idea of becoming someone else, about stirring people’s emotions, making them laugh or cry, enlightening or entertaining them. I also like writing, and believe that words, if used skillfully, can move people to action, can affect them and inform them, and even reverse policy decisions! My other interests include economics, poetry and science.

Travel to join myself to the environment where I am at that moment, the people who integrate it, know their customs and ideas, history, different arts, go through their geography, enjoy the landscapes and gastronomy. In short, empathize, try to observe and mimic the environment that surrounds me at that time because it inspires me to contribute to my personal, social and professional medium, other ways of doing and thinking which allow learning and a continuous improvement. ESPAÑOL Viajar para relacionarme con el entorno donde me hallo,las personas que lo integran,conocer sus costumbres e ideas,historia,diferentes artes, patear su su geografía ,disfrutar de los paisajes y gastronomía.En definitiva empatizar, tratar de observar y mimetizar el entorno que me rodea en ese momento pues me sirve de inspiración para aportar a mi entorno personal ,social y profesional otras maneras de hacer y pensar que permitan el aprendizaje y la mejora continua.
