Running on ideas, paint-stained fingers, and five different to-do lists. Content brain, chaos heart. Always somewhere between writing a caption and fixing a crisis. Can go from goofy to grounded in 0.2 seconds- especially when TEDx is involved. Known to take on slightly more than needed, but it usually works out (somehow). Mostly here to make things meaningful, beautiful, and maybe a little unforgettable.

I’m passionate about creating, not just art or writing, but experiences, moments, and meaning. Whether it’s through a caption that makes someone pause, a blog that captures a feeling, or a speaker script that brings ideas to life, I love shaping things that make people feel something. My creativity comes in many forms: writing, painting, coloring, drawing, and sometimes just imagining the world in strange and beautiful ways. I see the world in shades, in moods, in metaphors. People, to me, are the most fragile and powerful forces that exist. We carry the capacity to heal, destroy, inspire, and forget, all within the same heartbeat. And maybe that’s why I feel so driven to express it all, to translate that chaos into something someone else can hold. I also care deeply about the things that happen behind the scenes. I like showing up. I like doing the quiet work that makes the big picture possible. Whether it’s coordinating an event or rewriting a post at midnight, I find joy in the process, especially when it’s shared with a team that is just as passionate. TEDx taught me that, that creating something powerful does not always require being in the spotlight. Sometimes the real impact lies in the curation, in the details, in the small things no one notices but everyone feels. What keeps me going is the feeling that my work, no matter how small, has the potential to mean something. To someone. Somewhere. That maybe a color choice, a phrase, a well timed edit, or even a moment of stillness in an event could create impact. Could move something. Could remind someone they are not alone. So yes, I guess I’m passionate about being a translator for things people feel but do not know how to say. About creating little windows into meaning, beauty, and truth. About making things that matter.

Sharks Are Not Villains, They Are Ocean Puppies: You’ve been lied to. Sharks are not sea monsters; they’re just big, misunderstood ocean puppies with too many teeth and a terrible PR team. They mind their own business, keep the oceans clean, and have been around since before dinosaurs knew how to dinosaur. It’s time we stop blaming them for every dramatic beach movie ever and give them the respect (and rebranding) they deserve.

My TED story started the moment I realized I could binge TED talks the same way people binge Netflix. Something about hearing people share real, vulnerable, world-changing ideas on a red dot just stuck with me. It wasn’t just about learning, it was about feeling seen, challenged, and inspired. When I became part of TEDxNHCE, that connection deepened. I got to work behind the scenes, helping shape stories, building meaning into every word, and supporting something much bigger than myself. TED became more than talks, it became a way for me to channel everything I love: writing, creativity, teamwork, and ideas that actually make people think. It taught me that impact doesn't always come from being the loudest voice, sometimes, it comes from curating the ones that need to be heard.

People don’t know I’m good at noticing the little things, the awkward pauses, the misaligned fonts, the unsent messages, and the things people don’t say out loud. I’m often the quiet observer who ends up holding the entire thread together. I may not always speak first, but when I do, it’s usually after thinking five layers deep. Whether it’s rewriting something at the last minute, stepping in when things fall apart, or just calming the chaos without announcing it, I tend to show up when it matters. Quietly, but with impact.
