Bio

I am passionate about creating change for the society around me through strategy, storytelling, and meaningful conversation. It is about understanding people and creating connections that inspire engagement and action. To me, marketing is not just about attracting attention; it is about connecting ideas with people, creating moments of inspiration, and helping ideas grow into movements that shape communities and perspectives for better outcomes.

With a strong curiosity for innovation and human-centered communication, I strive to develop ideas and campaigns that not only capture attention but also create lasting impact.

The TED story

My TEDx journey began with a simple step: the idea that I have the power to create change. As an international student from Cambodia studying marketing in Canada, I have experienced how different perspectives can challenge assumptions, inspire growth, and bring people together. Joining TEDxLakeheadU allowed me to contribute to a platform that amplifies voices, sparks meaningful conversations, and encourages people to think differently. As Marketing Lead, I help share stories and ideas that deserve to be heard, while learning how strategic communication and storytelling can connect communities and inspire action. Through this experience, I have grown as a leader, communicator, and marketer, while contributing to a community that believes in the power of ideas to shape a better future. For me, TEDx is more than an event. It is a reminder that one conversation, one idea, or one perspective can change the way we see the world.
