I am an Entrepreneur, Mental Calculator, Motivational Speaker, STEM Enthusiast, Speed Cuber, and Brain Coach, in addition to other things. I always look to see the best in others, because I know that given the opportunity, anyone can rise to success. My definition of success is true happiness, genuine joy amidst chaos, and this is what I hope for my company to help achieve.

I am passionate about development. One of the most exciting experiences I have are being able to mentor and motivate students of all ages to follow their dreams and passions, and equipping them with the right skills to do just that. For me, it's about my peers seeing their potential, and understanding that if they put their mind to it, there isn't anything in this world that they can't conquer.

I have been blessed with a wonderful family and the right opportunities to be able to travel the world attending competitions, representing my country, and achieving several records and titles. Seeing so many students around the world not being able to achieve their potential because of missed opportunities or lack of resources has always stirred me. This drives me as I hope to find resources to help students around the world access education, specifically co-curricular skills, with ease and affordability. In short, my idea worth spreading, is accessible skill training for students around the world, because each learner is capable of so much more, given the right tools.

I joined the TED world as a TEDx organizer. At the mere age of 17, I organized and led the team for TEDxYouth@OOW. From there on, TED has helped me grow, sharing ideas from all over the world, and helps me develop my ideas further.

People generally don't know I'm good at mental calculation, singing, playing the guitar, solving puzzles like the rubik's cube, or even cooking.
