At the top of the things I am passionate about is the sense of responsibility I feel toward the city where I was born and raised. Adding value to this place, making it more visible, and organizing events that bring many people from the business world here are both a duty and a great source of happiness for me. Learning new things, discovering, and constantly improving myself through travel are essential passions in my life. Being able to help people I know or don’t know, contributing to them in some way, and being a part of something good gives me a feeling that is hard to describe. All these passions shape my personal journey and motivate me to leave a better mark on the world around me.

Seven years ago, when I was studying at university in another city, I would attend TEDx conferences just as a listener, and they really inspired me. I started dreaming about one day organizing a TEDx event in my own city. But because of some challenges I went through, I could never make it happen. Now, at 30, I want to finally bring that young person’s dream to life.
