I'm someone who finds joy in connecting people, ideas, and cultures. I believe in the power of storytelling, language, and education to inspire change and spark meaningful conversations. Whether I'm writing, researching, or volunteering, I try to engage with work that makes a difference — especially in the areas of social impact, sustainability, and mental well-being. As a multilingual communicator, I enjoy breaking down language barriers and making knowledge more accessible. Through TED Translators, I contribute to this mission by helping powerful ideas reach diverse audiences around the world. It’s a small way to be part of something bigger — a global exchange of insight, empathy, and action. Outside of this, I love diving into books, experimenting with creative projects, and learning from the people and stories that surround me.

I’m passionate about topics that drive positive change, with a focus on sustainability, women’s rights, mental health, and youth leadership. My experience spans creative writing, translation, magazine publishing, and community-driven projects. I also enjoy working on science communication and educational outreach, especially through innovative formats that make complex ideas accessible to all.

Small actions, when rooted in empathy and intention, can lead to meaningful change. Whether it’s translating a talk, sharing a story, or starting a community project, each step contributes to a ripple effect. Empowering others with access to knowledge, especially in their own language, is one of the most powerful ways we can shape a more inclusive, understanding world.
