RESUME
What I love
I love expressing myself and my opinions. I always appreciate how people listen to me and share with me their opinions. We are all blessed to be born human and to be able to share our intellectual ideas through words. Why not exercise it to the fullest?
I turned my passion of imagination and expression into writing. Now, I have my own blog and facebook page about product reviews and experiences in studying abroad to keep me busy during free time. When I was younger, I had my own short fan-fiction page as a mean to express my own borderless world.
Writing is my favourite form of expression as the process takes time and consideration. After erasing and re-writing for a few times, you end up with a perfect sentence. And thus, you can say more, by saying less. You can find links to my own writing on what I do tab.

Where I study
Graduate School of System Design and Management Keio University, Japan.
​2014 - present
What's a better way to learn any culture than to actually be a part of it? Wanting to learn about Japan more, I decided to enroll in Keio University. I have learned a lot from attending classes, but more from living and dealing with life. Japan has a very unique culture and system. Everyday here I encounter something new, both good and bad. But the experiences was worth the pain.
Intercultural Insititute of Japan
Japanese Language School, Japan.
​2013 - 2014
I decided to come to Japan after my graduation, to study more Japanese and to learn to survive. I have neither lived alone nor study abroad before in my life and I think it will be a valuable experience that I needed. I pass JLPT N1 test at the end of my study here.
Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy
Thammasat University, Thailand.
​2009 - 2013
With determination to add some other skills to myself than just languages which I loved, I decided to join this faculty international program. Majoring in Accounting, I was trained to master repetitive but yet complex tasks. I graduate after 4 years of blood, sweat and tears, with second class honour.
Mater Dei Institute
Primary school - High school, Thailand.
​1996 - 2010
I grew up in this christian school. From a little girl who ran around carefreely without the world pressing on her shoulder to a yound lady who enjoyed every moments of teenage, I had been made whole here. I believe the most important thing I learnt from this school is not knowledge, but the kind heart of giving and the art of living.
Danmaya Suisan - Izakaya
Part-time/ Tokyo, Japan
I briefly did part-time job in Tokyo to practice my Japanese while at the same time learn how Japanese people work and how their system are like. It was an eye-opening experience. Japanese are what I would say the complete opposite of Thai people in term of work habits. Learning through this culture shock, I have grown.

Volunteers were in charge of contacting models, photographer, places, uniform rental and cooperate every aspects on the real shooting day. Also, volunteers were responsible for follow-up of result untill the poster was in final process.
International Tennis Federation - Annual General Meeting 2011
Volunteer/ Bangkok, Thailand.
To show Thai people courtesy and friendliness, students were asked to volunteers as part of the event to guide guests around and show them the charm of Thailand as a country. I was honored to be part this event and getting to know delegates from various countries.
