I’m the Social Media Specialist at the Universal American School, Kuwait, where I manage the school’s digital presence and capture the stories that make our community special. I’m passionate about turning everyday moments into meaningful stories — whether it’s through photography, video, or creative campaigns that highlight student life and school spirit. My work focuses on showcasing the voices, talents, and achievements that define who we are as a community. Being part of our school’s first-ever TEDx event is an exciting opportunity to celebrate creativity, inspire connection, and share ideas that truly matter.

I’m passionate about creativity and details — taking an idea and turning it into something that makes people feel something. What people might not know is that I love design and visual storytelling. I enjoy planning photo and video shoots, coming up with campaign ideas, and finding the right words that make a message stand out. I care a lot about how things feel — the tone, the colors, the story behind them. My strength is seeing potential in small things and turning them into something memorable and meaningful.

My idea worth spreading is simple: every story matters. Sometimes the most powerful ideas come from the smallest moments — a student’s first big achievement, a teacher’s kind word, or a team’s shared success. When we take the time to tell those stories, we build a culture of connection and pride. I believe social media can be more than just posts and likes — it can be a platform that inspires, uplifts, and brings people together. Through storytelling, we remind each other that what we do every day can have a lasting impact.

Being part of our school’s first TEDx event is something I’m truly proud of. It’s exciting to see our students step into the spotlight and share ideas that can inspire others. For me, TEDx is about more than just an event — it’s about giving people the courage to speak, create, and connect. I’m helping with the media side of TEDx, making sure our students’ stories are told and shared in the best way possible. This experience means a lot to me because it combines everything I love — creativity, community, and storytelling. It’s amazing to see how one idea can bring so many people together.
