Putting myself in another person’s shoes comes to me naturally. I think that’s why it’s easy for me to understand what people are going through and support them in the right way. My educational and professional background allowed me to work with people from different walks of life. This gave me the experience to provide clarity and better understanding in situations where others feel stuck or struggle to find a solution. I feel that I am on a mission where every day there’s possibility to learn something new and tend to encourage others to do the same. Since I remember I always wanted to help others by supporting their mindset shift and encouraging inner self-transformation. I'm a solution seeker who always finds strength in difficult situations and I try to inspire everyone around me to do the same. I believe there’s a reason in everything we experience and there’s a lesson to be learned.

I'm passionate about helping others by encouraging the notion of'coach your mindset', where we become our own coach by building resilience and better understanding of our thoughts process, emotions and actions- reactions.

I believe each one of us has got reasons to be here and we should never give up on ourselves and our dreams. Each one of us is unique in their own way and everyone has something special about them. I believe we can discover our spark by unlearning our limiting behavioural patterns and developing healthier mindset.

I first came accross TED when I was at the University. I was instantly drawn to the innovation it represents. I felt that there was finally a place where I could share my ideas without anyone thinking they are too crazy or too strange. I like to find new ways of doing things and explore the limitlesness of our potential as human beings and that’s why TED resonates with me so much. I love it for encouraging outside of the box thinking and giving the voice to those who have an idea worth exploring, no matter who they are, where they come from or what is their educational background.

During my personal development journey I have realised that I missed my childhood dreams which was playing an instrument and singing. Last year, I came back to music and along the way I have been told that I have a good voice and at the moment I’m learning how to the play a guitar.
