Musician, Student, Writer/Editor

I am a student of English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Humanities in Novi Sad. I was born in Kikinda, a small town located in the north-eastern corner of Serbia. Ever since I was a child, I showed great potential for English, thus I consider myself somewhat of a semi-bilingual person. With time, I got more and more familiar with both the colloquial aspects of the language as well as formal expressions. I decided at a certain point in high school to dedicate the rest of my education to studying English and becoming a translator.

Music. Music is something sacred to me. Music helped me find myself and continues to expand my views and fulfill my free time with pure and honest emotions. Also, I play guitar. I started playing when I was 14 and as I grow older, I become more and more passionate about it. One day, I hope to become a famous musician because I have a lot of my own songs that I wish to share with the world. Apart from music, I also like football, calisthenics and literature.

I discovered TED when I was really young via YouTube. At the time, I was not really into it because of how young I was, but as I grew older, I started to pay attention to TED a little more. During my studies, I found out about the contribution program through a colleague of mine who is also a contributor. Once I started the program, I found another passion.
