  • Please share your biggest wins as an SDGs advocate
    One of my biggest wins was when I was chosen to participate in IBC program in Germany. This achievement is a life-changing one. I have learned so many things about SDGs and climate change. Importantly, I learned how to count on myself and be responsible. Especially after the scholarship I traveled to Europe alone, and that gave me a huge sense of accountability. I stayed in hostels with people from diverse countries, backgrounds, and beliefs. This has helped me foster open-mindedness and resilience within me.

  • Outside of your SDGs advocacy work, what do you enjoy doing?
    One of the most enriching aspects of my life has been the opportunity to network with people from various backgrounds and cultures. Every interaction with someone from a different cultural milieu opens a window to a new world, filled with unique traditions, beliefs, and perspectives. This diversity is a wellspring of knowledge and growth. Additionally, learning new languages has been another incredible source of joy in my life. Languages are the keys to unlocking new cultures and the gateways to building connections with people from around the globe. Each language I learn offers a unique perspective and worldview, providing an insight into the history and identity of the speakers. Moreover, teaching and raising awareness about crucial topics is a fundamental aspect of my commitment to making a positive impact on the world. I find immense satisfaction in sharing knowledge and encouraging others to become active agents of change. My passion for teaching extends beyond the classroom, encompassing a wide range of topics, from environmental issues to social justice and beyond. I also enjoy singing in different languages and that is one of the main things that fill me with energy and joy.
