I’m passionate about the intersection of ideas, impact, and identity. As a student deeply invested in Economics, Business, and English, I find excitement in understanding how human behavior shapes the systems around us and how we, in turn, can influence those systems for the better. Reading has always been my gateway to new perspectives. I believe books have the power to transport, to challenge, and to connect, and my love for literature has helped me think critically, express creatively, and communicate meaningfully. Whether it is a work of fiction or a thought-provoking piece on behavioral economics, I am drawn to words that leave a lasting impact. Traveling is another deep passion of mine. Exploring new places, cultures, and communities fuels my curiosity and gives me a broader understanding of the world we live in. Every journey, whether across a continent or through conversation, helps me grow, reflect, and bring new energy into the projects I pursue. As the President of the Business and Entrepreneurship Club, a member of both the Student and CAS Councils, and a TEDx organizer, I thrive in spaces where innovation and leadership meet. I enjoy bringing people together to exchange ideas, build solutions, and create memorable experiences. Ultimately, I am passionate about learning, exploring, and creating. Whether through books, travel, or initiatives like TEDx, I aim to contribute to conversations that inspire curiosity and drive change.

Communication, Creative Thinking, Leadership, Strategic Thinking, Written Expression

My TED journey began with a fascination for ideas, especially those that change the way we think, live, or interact with the world. I have always admired how TED talks take complex subjects and make them personal, relatable, and impactful. So when I had the opportunity to be part of TEDx at my school, I knew I wanted to contribute to that experience. As an organizer, my goal was not just to host an event but to create a platform for student voices, where curiosity and bold thinking are celebrated. I was inspired by how much power students hold when given the space to speak, to share, and to lead. TEDx became more than just a project. It became a mission to bring people together through meaningful conversation. Being part of this journey has taught me the value of storytelling, the strength of ideas, and the impact of community. TED has shaped the way I think about leadership, creativity, and connection, and it continues to push me to ask deeper questions and imagine better solutions.
