Andreas Kaisaris

My name is Andreas Kaisaris, I am from Greece and I am a Master’s year Electrical and Electronic Engineering student at the University of Surrey. Growing up I remember feeling extremely anxious every time I had to talk in front of an audience. I had stage fright without even being on a stage. Fortunately, one of my Teachers in high school persuaded me to join the drama society, something that helped me become a bit more comfortable with being on a stage. It wasn't until my second year in University though, that my love for public speaking really sky rocketed. After joining a global presentation competition, I fell in love with the idea of sharing your experiences, expertise, new ideas and knowledge with others. That’s exactly what motivated me to become part of the TEDxSurreyUniversity society and host a my own TED event. I believe that everyone has their own story to tell, and TED is the perfect platform for that. This is why, as a President of the society, I will do my best to bring motivation and inspiration to the society and make sure this event offers a remarkable experience to each one of us.
