To the TEDxUSYD committee

Hi TEDxUSYD 👋I made this instead of sendinganother generic application.

I’m Saad, and I run marketing and events on the UNSW Project Hope subcommittee right now. I made this whole website to show you I’d be a great fit for this role, so I hope you like it and read till the end.

A little
about me

My top 3 songs right now:
Excavator - Don T
Janice STFU - Drake
Girl Like Me - Pink

I’m transferring from UNSW, into B Adv Computing here at USYD. I love running, soccer, and learning. I have endless lists of things I want to learn, what’s hard is actually doing all of them (I haven’t figured that part out yet).

I’m the one who volunteers before being asked. So, I started off as a marketing subbie, but I saw an opportunity for events, so now I’m sort of a hybrid marketing and events sub. A few days ago I sent in some posters to be posted in the upcoming 2 weeks. But I also made an event proposal 2 weeks ago. Scroll down to see all this!

A side-project I’m working on

An easy-to-use file manager for my mum

I’ve been self learning programming and AI for the past few months, now I’m trying small projects, like making confusing tech easier for my mum.

Why TEDxUSYD?

Learning from each other

I see a lot of value in learning from other people's experiences, and that's exactly what TEDx is about. I'd love to be directly involved in facilitating the talks, helping other students share ideas, learn and grow.

What I’ve done
for PH UNSW

Real efforts and contributions. I play my position, best believe if I join TEDxUSYD I'm going to show up and do my part.

In their words
— not mine

I didn’t write these. They’re from people I actually worked with.

In closing

What time are you free for a coffee chat?

Best case, you get a great addition to your subcommittee. Worst case, we connect on LinkedIn and no harm’s done.

Yours Sincerely,
Saad
