I am a Spanish language student at University of Delhi with a strong interest in translation, and cultural exchange. Alongside my studies, I have been involved in debates, volunteering, and creative projects that connect language with global issues. I recently won three contests at my University and actively contribute to academic and cultural events. My goal is to use translation as a bridge between communities and to make meaningful ideas accessible to a wider audience.

Sharing ideas that inspire, exploring how language shapes identity, and building bridges between cultures through words.

Language is more than words - it's a bridge. Translation can carry ideas across cultures, spark understanding, and connect voices that might otherwise go unheard. Every translated story has the power to inspire change.

I believe that ideas are powerful only when they are shared and understood. Translation allows me to take voices across borders, and being part of the TED Translator community is a chance to contribute to that mission. As a student of Spanish, I see this as more than just language practice - it is away of shaping connections, giving visibility to diverse perspectives, and making sure no voice is left unheard.

Turning difficult concepts into clear, engaging language so everyone can feel the meaning and emotion behind them.
