Hirsh Garhwal

Student

Hello! I'm Hirsh, a linguist, cultural enthusiast, and a global citizen. My education journey has taken me from villages in India to towns in Europe and cities across the United States. As a speaker of English, French, Hindi, Spanish, and Rajasthani, I view languages as powerful tools to comprehend and connect with diverse communities. My work includes translating TED Talks and supporting multilingual education, as I'm keen on helping people understand each other better across cultural boundaries.

Ensuring every individual has access to high-quality education, transcending linguistic and cultural barriers.

Harnessing the power of technology to connect students across the world, share ideas, and perhaps create a global classroom without borders.

During a challenging four-month period at my boarding school amidst the Covid pandemic, where I found myself as the sole remaining high school student, TED Talks became my window into the world. Translating these talks allowed me to join a community of dynamic speakers who could distill some of the best ideas within a few minutes.

Creating dishes that echo the languages I speak. From French éclairs to Spanish ensaïmadas, my cooking is a homage to the diverse cultures I've encountered.
