Founder & Director : ECOPEACE TEEN CAFE
I am a peacebuilder, connector, and nature lover with a passion for building bridges between people and the planet. My journey began at the age of fourteen, when I stepped into intercultural, interfaith, and environmental work. Since then, I’ve worked with people of all ages—nurturing dialogue, fostering resilience, and championing climate justice. Guided by a deep commitment to peace and sustainability, I create spaces where communities can come together to connect, heal, and collaborate for lasting change.
As a peace and climate educator, I create learning experiences that go beyond facts and spark empathy, awareness, and action. Education, for me, is about nurturing both hearts and minds—helping especially young people see the links between peace, justice, and the environment. Through dialogues, workshops, and community-led initiatives, I encourage learners to become changemakers who care for each other and the planet. My goal is to inspire not just knowledge, but also compassion and courage to build a more just and sustainable future.
As a storyteller, I hold space for voices and experiences that often go unheard. I believe stories can heal, connect, and transform—reminding us of our shared humanity and the wisdom of our communities. Through my storytelling, I weave together personal journeys, cultural insights, and environmental truths, inviting people to see the world with empathy and hope. For me, storytelling is as much about listening deeply as it is about sharing.
As a connector, I bring together peacebuilders, climate advocates, and social changemakers to collaborate for greater impact. I enjoy building bridges between people and ideas, supporting partnerships, and creating opportunities for collective action. Whether through organizing events, facilitating collaborations, or introducing the right people to each other, I see connection as the first step toward meaningful change.
As a peacebuilder, I work to create spaces where trust, dialogue, and healing can flourish. I believe peace is more than the absence of conflict—it is the presence of justice, empathy, and inclusion. My work brings together diverse voices across cultures, faiths, and generations to find common ground and build stronger, more resilient communities.
As a facilitator, I design and hold spaces where every voice is welcomed and valued. I support groups in reflecting, sharing, and working together—whether in workshops, dialogues, or community gatherings. My role is to guide the flow, encourage openness, and help participants move toward shared understanding and collective action. For me, facilitation is about creating the conditions for genuine connection and transformation..
