Erika is a fun, sociable, and kind-hearted girl — a Year 6 student at Questfield International College who always brings positive energy wherever she goes. Calm and even-tempered, she handles pressure with remarkable composure and confidence.

Her favourite thing to do is get involved in all kinds of projects, both in and outside of school, to prove to herself that she can always achieve more than she thinks. Erika puts her heart into everything she does, whether or not there’s a reward at the end.

At only 12 years old, she is a naturally competitive person — even if she doesn’t always show it. Sometimes she wins, sometimes she doesn’t, but one thing is certain: she never gives up and never will, no matter how hard things get.

Erika is still figuring out what she wants to become in the future, but she’s already exploring the idea of becoming a lawyer. Her favourite subjects are Mathematics, English, Romanian, and History. Another dream of hers is to become a primary school teacher, teaching young hearts about life — and, as she says with a smile on her face, maybe even work part-time as a Criminal Psychologist one day.

The sport she enjoys most is dancing, and she always looks forward to making the best of every experience. Erika is thrilled to have the opportunity to step onto the TEDxQuestfield Intl College Youth stage — and she can’t wait to share her ideas with you!
