Concerned citizen, Consultant, Educator/Teacher, Parent

With six years of experience as school counselor and multiple stints as a university visiting lecturer, I specialize in guiding students toward their academic and professional aspirations along with their social-emotional stability. My expertise lie in counseling & lecturing, which I consider my core skills, coupled with exceptional personal and public communication abilities. My passion for knowledge and improvement continues to shape my approach towards life.

Sharing knowledge and transferring ideas that inspire growth. Encouraging others to live happily while seeking peace and purpose. Exploring the intricacies of human evolution, societal progress, and universal mysteries. Excelling in sports and promoting a balanced, holistic lifestyle. Facilitating opportunities for others to find their paths to success and fulfilment.

The human brain, the evolution of societies, and the vast, awe-inspiring complexities of the universe are ideas that have always captivated me. These interconnected phenomena highlight our place in the ever-expanding web of existence. Understanding them provides not only a sense of perspective but also a gateway to personal growth and collective advancement. We are a product of billions of years of evolution, navigating a life filled with mysteries too vast to unlock completely. Yet, this pursuit of understanding and connection is what makes life profoundly meaningful.

My TED journey began as a serendipitous coincidence. A group of brilliant students approached me with the idea of organizing a TEDx event, and I immediately saw its potential. With great enthusiasm, I became the liaison between the students, the school, and TEDx, providing all the support I could. As a long-time fan of TED Talks, having consumed hundreds of hours of their insightful content, this opportunity felt like a natural extension of my passion for spreading ideas and inspiring others. It was an honour to contribute to an event that embodies the values I hold dear: sharing knowledge, sparking curiosity, and driving meaningful conversations.

Beyond my professional life, I have a profound love for sports, having competed at the national level in badminton (under 19), excelling in swimming and diving, and captaining a football team. I have also been recognized as a sportsman of the year during school, showcasing excellence in track and field events and a wide range of indoor and outdoor sports. My passion for knowledge, whether academic or athletic, continues to shape my approach to life and work.
