Student

Community builder, event architect, and a firm believer in the power of ideas. I am currently building TEDxGRIET to bring untold stories and fresh perspectives to the forefront, creating a space where transformative thinking takes the stage.

I’m passionate about youth empowerment and using leadership as a tool to drive systemic change. I love architecting platforms where others can find their voice and lead. From social impact projects to large-scale events, I find my greatest purpose in bringing people together to solve real problems through collaboration and storytelling.

Leadership is an action, not a position. You don't have to wait until you are "someone important" to start making an impact. Real transformation happens when young people take ownership of their ideas and lead grassroots initiatives. I believe that by encouraging everyday student leadership, we can build a more compassionate and proactive world right now.

I’ve always been inspired by how a simple story on the TED stage can shift a person's entire perspective. My background has been all about acting behind the scenes-organizing events, leading teams, and building platforms for change. Now, I want to step into the spotlight to share a vital message with students: leadership and purpose start right where you are. TEDx is my chance to spark that realization in others.

I am a master of the "last-minute pivot," able to pull plans together at the eleventh hour and make them look seamless. I also pride myself on being a quiet fixer, I prefer solving complex problems in the background without drawing any attention to the chaos.
