• Avika Gaur

  Student and Head Girl at DPS Monarch Intl School

  a student who finds joy in exploring ideas through dialogue, leadership, and public speaking. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to grow through platforms that shaped how I think and communicate, from presenting at the THIMUN Qatar Leadership Conference, to debating at the Qatar Debate Nationals, to serving as the Secretary General of MIMUN. Leadership has also been an important part of my school experience. As the Head Girl of DPS Monarch and an NSHSS member, I’ve learned how collaboration, clarity, and initiative can turn small moments into meaningful impact. Across all these spaces, I’ve discovered the value of questioning, listening, and expressing ideas with purpose something I’m excited to bring to the TEDx stage.
