Backed with rich knowledge and experience in psychology through my bachelor's and master's studies, as well as my TED involvements, I am aiming for continuous personal metamorphosis as a life-long immigrant.

Life-long Learning, inter-personal dynamics, and well-being for all.

My story began one day in my senior year of high school when I found out about TED, and I started watching talks daily since then, to find inspiration and know myself better through other ideas and talks, particularly from their subjects of interest and life-lived experiences wherever the speakers are. Since that day, I have always thought about how amazing is for me to be part of a TEDx event that is about my personal and social concerns with the hope, of taking the responsibility of the change for the better, even a bit: For my protopia. So, I pursued that internal motivation and became a part of the TEDxATU event in 2020, and TEDxLavasan in 2021 to find out all about the essentials of being a human being and seeking calmness. One who is present right in "Here and Now".
