Bio
Assistant Head of Content & Publishing Team at TEDxTaiz
Clinical Nutrition Specialist
Content Writer & Social Media Manager
I'm passionate about
Creating meaningful, high-impact content that blends knowledge, clarity, and emotion,
leading content teams with purpose,
and delivering TEDx experiences that reflect professionalism, authenticity, and ideas worth spreading.
An idea worth spreading
An idea is worth spreading when it’s honest, intentional, and created to make a meaningful impact.
The TED story
My TED story began with a belief that ideas deserve care before they are shared.
Joining TEDx was not just about producing content or managing publishing tasks; it was about understanding the responsibility behind every word, every message, and every story presented on stage. I started as someone who loved writing and organizing ideas, and grew into a role where I help shape the voice, direction, and integrity of the content we deliver.
Through TEDxTaiz, I learned how teamwork, trust, and thoughtful storytelling can turn individual efforts into a powerful collective experience. I’ve seen how well-prepared content can elevate speakers, connect deeply with audiences, and leave a lasting impact beyond the event itself.
For me, TED is a space where purpose meets precision — and being part of it continues to refine how I think, lead, and create.
Things you might not know
People often see my work in content and nutrition separately, but what they don’t usually realize is how strong I am at connecting ideas across fields and turning complexity into clarity.
I’m good at:
• Reading between the lines and identifying what truly needs to be said — not just what sounds good.
• Structuring content from chaos: raw ideas, scattered inputs, or tight deadlines, and shaping them into clear, purposeful narratives.
• Leading content teams calmly under pressure, keeping quality high while maintaining trust and motivation.
• Translating scientific and health information into content that is accurate, accessible, and human.
• Noticing details others miss, especially in messaging, tone, and audience perception.
This behind-the-scenes strength is what allows me to create content and TEDx experiences that feel cohesive, intentional, and meaningful.
