I am a curious learner, researcher and storyteller who enjoys turning ideas into meaningful conversations. I am passionate about communication, research, content creation and creating spaces where young people can connect, learn and contribute. Through student leadership, volunteering and youth-led initiatives, I have learned that even small ideas can create meaningful change when people are willing to act on them.

I am passionate about research, storytelling, communication, youth empowerment and understanding the issues that shape our communities. I especially enjoy learning through conversations, exploring different perspectives and turning ideas into something people can connect with.

Young people don’t need to wait to become “the future” before they start making a difference. We are already part of the present and our ideas, questions and actions have the power to shape the communities around us.

My TED story began with my love for ideas. I have always been drawn to conversations that make you question what you already know and look at ordinary things from a different perspective. Joining TEDx felt like an opportunity to be part of that process not just as an audience member, but as someone helping create an environment where ideas can be shared, connections can be made and people can leave inspired to think differently.

People don’t know I am actually good at turning random thoughts into ideas, stories and conversations. I can spend way too much time thinking about a small detail and somehow turn it into a whole concept.
