My journey with TED began when I first attended the TED In Arabic event held at HTU Theatre in Amman. The power of this event to inspire, educate, and ignite curiosity immediately resonated with me. Driven by my passion for ideas worth spreading, I decided to become actively involved in the TEDx community. I took my first step by volunteering for TEDxUniversityofJordan, where I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the transformative impact of TEDx events. The experience reinforced my commitment to the TED mission and the potential for ideas to change lives. One of the most remarkable moments in my journey was attending TEDxPSUT, an event that left an indelible impression on me. The speakers' stories and insights were not only thought-provoking but also deeply moving. It reaffirmed my belief in the power of TEDx to create meaningful connections and spark meaningful conversations. Today, I am honored to serve as the licensee and lead organizer of TEDxASPU. This role has allowed me to take my passion for TED to the next level, curating events that showcase innovative ideas, foster dialogue, and bring together a diverse community of thinkers, creators, and change-makers. I am dedicated to ensuring that our TEDxASPU events continue to inspire, educate, and create a platform for ideas that truly matter. My journey with TED has been a profound professional and personal growth experience, and I am excited to continue facilitating the sharing of ideas that can make a positive impact on our world.
