TED Community

I’m passionate about exploring how religion, identity, and narrative shape global politics , and how they can be reclaimed as forces for peace rather than conflict. My work focuses on countering violent extremism, dismantling Islamophobia and Westophobia, and promoting inclusive diplomacy rooted in empathy and justice. I believe in the transformative power of ideas, especially when shared across borders, generations, and beliefs. Above all, I’m committed to mentoring youth and amplifying voices that imagine a more peaceful, pluralistic world.

I am deeply passionate about transforming the way students experience education. Having spent years working with young learners in the IB framework, I have seen firsthand how the right environment, one built on inquiry, reflection, and genuine curiosity, can completely change a student's relationship with learning. I believe every student has the potential to contribute meaningfully to the world, and my role as an educator is to help them find that potential. Beyond the classroom, I am passionate about creating spaces where students feel safe to explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and grow as both thinkers and individuals.

Design. Cities. Pluralism and Planet. Photography. Food. Rare architecture books.

Sports. The world of sports fascinates me as it has the ability to evoke every single emotion known to us humans. It can make us cry, laugh, love, hate, ecstatic, desperate, ruthless, generous, cruel.

Natural history and saving the aquatic environments around the world. I love caves, oceans, rivers, and lakes - wherever fishes can be found. I want to help build scientific capacity around the world.
