TEDx Organizers

I’m deeply passionate about creating impact through a blend of leadership, innovation, and sustainability. I love building solutions that solve real problems, whether it’s through Ann-Maan, my zero-waste initiatives, or the apps I’ve designed to redistribute food and connect people to opportunities. I’m also driven by platforms that amplify youth voices, from TEDx to MUNs to journalism. At the heart of everything I pursue is a belief that ideas become meaningful when they are used to strengthen communities and inspire others to act.

Creativity and Novelty. I find it energizing to explore new ideas and stumble upon people's amazing methods and insights in math, physics, computer science, or creative works. This helps me look at problems from different angles and develop solutions. I've spent countless hours watching sci-fi movies, delving into imaginative concepts. From doing the math on the classic dynamics of a spinning top to figuring out the combinatorics behind the Enigma machine, my passion has driven me through my high school years. During my first university year, I used perspective illustration and motion graphic techniques to make designs and videos loved by the community. Now, I'm excited to dive deeper into machine learning. I think I can say I love the process of learning, and I wish to stumble upon something new myself by applying what I've learned as I progress in my academic and professional journey.

I am passionate about providing students opportunities to extend their minds, bodies, and soles beyond their current experiences. I do this by providing students and youth groups with STEM activities, university tours, and educational expeditions.

My travels have opened my eyes to the wonder and beauty of this world. The natural world needs our attention to ensure it is possible for future generations to enjoy life and all living things, ' My greatest passion is to ensure that marine life and marine ecosystems are protected. All of life depends on the health of the oceans. I dream of all humanity working toward a healthier ocean and a greener earth. Modern technology can and likely will provide better solutions in the coming years.

I am passionate about reading novels and writing, which is a medium for me to express myself. Over the years I have honed my poetry and short story writing skills along with practising debating as I believe that it is important to first learn to express yourself to come up with good ideas. Expressing myself has helped me discover my interests and strengths, which allows me to think deeper and in a better manner.

Community building, folk music, sport, reading (but even more so, buying books), psychology and how people build relationships

Storytelling and transmedia narrative, the mountains, my daughter Sol 🌞, my dog Uda 🐶, good food, and rock & roll 🎸. I also enjoy drumming on flamenco cajones, although I admit rhythm is not exactly my strongest skill.
