My TED story began with a simple idea: to amplify young voices and empower them to share their stories and perspectives with the world. Through TEDxSMPI Al Abidin Surakarta Youth, I saw an incredible opportunity to give students a platform to express themselves, explore new ideas, and engage in conversations that matter. Watching students find the courage to share their dreams, concerns, and visions for the future has been inspiring and rewarding. The experience of organizing these events, from selecting themes to coaching speakers, has shown me the immense power of youth-led dialogue. Every talk reminds me of the potential within each young individual to make an impact and inspires me to keep creating spaces where their voices can be heard and celebrated.

People don’t know I'm good at website development, but it’s a skill I've found invaluable in my journey as an educator and organizer. Building websites allows me to create interactive, accessible spaces that support both learning and community engagement. From designing user-friendly educational platforms to developing event pages for TEDxSMPI Al Abidin Surakarta Youth, I enjoy bringing ideas to life online. It's a creative outlet where I can merge my passion for technology with my commitment to education, creating digital environments that connect people, share knowledge, and inspire action. This hidden talent has given me a unique perspective on how tech can enhance educational experiences and make knowledge accessible to everyone.
