Shukria Alavi

Activist, Idea generator, Policy maker

As the Licensee and Lead Organizer of TEDxMeredithCollege, I had the incredible opportunity to bring TEDx to Meredith College again. I launched this initiative to create a platform where diverse voices, students, faculty, and community members, could come together to share powerful ideas and inspire meaningful change. With a background in Mathematics and minors in Data Science and Marketing, I enjoy blending creative thinking with analytical strategy. From speaker curation to team leadership, branding, and event logistics, I’ve been closely involved in every step of the process. I’m proud to lead a passionate team committed to making this event impactful and inclusive. Beyond TEDx, my work and research focus on education access, youth empowerment, and public policy. Whether through local initiatives or global conversations, I believe in the power of ideas to spark action and I’m excited to help build spaces where those ideas can thrive.
