TEDx
Growing up enamored with watching TED videos, TEDx has been a strong commitment of mine for the past four years. As the co-producer of the BISV TEDx event, I thoroughly enjoy working with students to help them transform their ideas into tangible stories that they share confidently on the TEDx stage.
I've also delivered two TEDx talks of my own!
Changing the Stereotype ; ABCD
Changing the Stereotype ; ABCD
As I was delivered my first TEDx talk as a 9th grader, I wanted to speak about a topic that was true to my heart and home. I chose to speak about the struggles of maintaing a dual-culture identity and how harmful stereotypes related to my indian heritage shaped my upbringing in a predominantly white school growing up in Washington.

Hearing how many people resonated with my first TEDx talk, and how many second-generation immigrants like me felt heard through my speech inspired me to deliver my second TEDx talk at Sacred Heart Atherton where I discussed how hobbies or activities that we "drop" shouldn't be seen as failures but rather become integral parts of our character.

Partnering with SpeechPundit, I've also led a TEDx intensive inteded to introduce TED-style speeches to younger students. My work with intensives like this is to hope to inspire other young minds who have new ideas to share with the world to gain confidence in their storytelling and public speaking abilities to inspire them to also take the TEDx stage.
Below is a template of the material I create for my students to work with!
Additionally, I'm currently working on a short guide I hope to self-publish to help other students gain more clarity and guidance when writing their TEDx speeches. My decision to write this guide came with my experience working with students who felt that there weren't enough materials that were available to students which gave them clear instruction on how to write their talks.
