TEDx Western Canada HS SPEAKERS 2025
Who We Are
Sania Grewal
Sania Grewal is a Grade 11 student attending Westmount Charter School. As a member of the 2025 Canadian National Speech Team and a frequent competitor at speech tournaments, she has developed a love for all things public speaking, including TEDx. At school, Sania’s favourite place to be is her English classroom, her favourite class due to its focus on analysis, storytelling, and communication. Outside of academics, Sania can be found reading anything from mysteries to memoirs and is currently learning French—with the help of a copious amount of Duolingo. She also enjoys baking, kayaking, and skating with friends. Regardless of what she’s doing, Sania’s always excited to share ideas and learn from others in the hope of building a better world

Annika Gupta
Annika is a grade 9 student at Louis Riel School in Calgary. She’s passionate about public speaking, STEM, and storytelling. When she’s not debating, participating in STEM competitions, or working on robotics, you’ll find her reading, dancing, or travelling. Annika loves seeking out challenges, exploring questions with curiosity, and taking on leadership roles in her school and community. Through these experiences, she has consistently noticed patterns in how certain topics are overlooked or stigmatized. She’s looking forward to using the stage to spark conversation and offer ideas for building more open, understanding spaces.

Sarah Gong
Few people know whether Sarah Gong— a 13-year-old student at Westmount Charter School— first learned how to paint with her pudgy toddler fingers or with her words: it's often a topic of discussion amongst her friends. When she’s not curled up, delving into another good series, she can be found in the mountains and river valleys of the Rockies, practicing the art of photography. While she loves transforming her thoughts into words on a page and delivering speeches for the world, she also hopes to inspire others to do the same.

Joshua Kim
Hi, I’m Josh, a student at Westmount Charter School, and I’m thrilled to be speaking at TEDxWestern Canada HS. I’m here to dive into the science of weather and share fresh insights with anyone eager to broaden their knowledge. When I’m not buried in textbooks, you’ll find me getting destroyed on the badminton court, struggling to solve a Rubik’s Cube, or slowly losing my ELO over the chessboard. But, no matter what I’m doing (or failing to do), I always believe it’s most important to have fun along the way.

Aishani Singh
My name is Aishani Singh, and I’m a grade 10 student at Westmount Charter School. When I’m free, you’ll usually find me reading, on a walk, or talking with some friends. When I’m not free, you’ll usually find me procrastinating and doing what I do when I am free. I’m speaking at TEDxWestern because I’m passionate about public speaking and eager to challenge the myth of the “perfect” college applicantion.
