Bio
I am a versatile communicator, educator, and microbiology student at North South University, dedicated to the mission of inspiring and empowering learners through transformative education. My professional journey spans across media and digital learning, where I serve as a Radio Anchor and Reciter for Bangladesh Betar and a Voice Over Artist for U.S.-based edutech modules.
As an Instructor on Udemy, I translate complex ideas into actionable skills, ensuring that educational content is engaging and accessible for students at all levels. My background is deeply rooted in the art of discourse; I am an award-winning public speaker with multiple national championships in extempore speech and debate. Currently, I balance my scientific research with leadership roles, serving as the Assistant Debate Director for the Sylhet Debate Federation and managing my own literary platform as the founder of Granthakit rri.
I am passionate about the intersection of scientific inquiry and strategic storytelling, always seeking new ways to bridge the gap between technical knowledge and public understanding
I'm passionate about
I am passionate about empowering learners through transformative education and the art of storytelling. My focus lies at the intersection of effective communication, public discourse , and exploring the hidden wonders of the microbial world.
An idea worth spreading
My idea worth spreading is Education through Empowerment, not just Instruction. True learning happens when content is not just delivered, but 'performed' to capture the imagination. Using my experience as an EdTech instructor and voice artist, I aim to show that actionable, real-world skills are best taught through the power of a compelling human voice
The TED story
My journey with TEDx began on the stage at TEDxMUBC, where I served as the Anchor. Guiding an audience through a marathon of ideas, I had the privilege of introducing and weaving together the narratives of 13 diverse speakers, ensuring each 'Idea Worth Spreading' resonated deeply with the crowd. This experience solidified my passion for public discourse and high-pressure communication.
Transitioning from the spotlight to the strategy room, I later joined TEDxUttara as an Executive in Marketing and Promotion. In this role, I focused on the 'behind-the-scenes' architecture of impact—building the brand, engaging the community, and ensuring our speakers' voices reached the widest possible audience. These twin experiences have given me a 360-degree view of how ideas are curated, championed, and delivered to the world.
