I'm passionate about
I am deeply interested in the intersection of human-centered leadership and storytelling. I believe that in today’s digital-first world, the ability to communicate authentic and meaningful stories is what truly brings communities together. Whether I’m involved in organizing initiatives like TEDx or contributing to local projects, I am driven by the process of connecting people from diverse backgrounds and fostering creative collaboration. I am particularly motivated by those moments when a new perspective brings clarity to complex challenges and opens the path toward effective solutions.
The TED story
This is my first time building a project of this scale, and I’m doing it alongside my close friend and fellow student. We wanted to move beyond theory and create something that truly shifts perspectives. Together, we are navigating the process of producing a TEDx event—learning that the most impactful ideas come to life when you have a partner who shares your vision and pushes you to grow.
