I'm passionate about
I’m passionate about personal growth, learning new things, physical training, music, and building communities where people can exchange ideas and inspire each other.
An idea worth spreading
The idea that success should not be measured only by grades or traditional achievements. Curiosity, creativity, and the ability to think independently are far better indicators of real learning.
The TED story
I first discovered TED talks while exploring ideas about entrepreneurship, learning, and personal growth. What inspired me most was how powerful a single idea could be when it is shared with the right audience.
As a high school student and the president of my school’s entrepreneurship club, I enjoy creating spaces where people can exchange ideas and learn from each other. Over time, I realized that many students around me also have valuable perspectives but rarely get the chance to share them.
Organizing TEDxDCFL Youth is my way of creating that platform. My goal is to bring together students, educators, and thinkers to share ideas that spark curiosity, encourage independent thinking, and start meaningful conversations within our community.
Things you might not know
People don’t know I’m good at bringing people together and organizing things, learning new skills quickly, and pushing my limits through physical training and discipline. I also enjoy music and exploring new ways to challenge myself.
