I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Film and Digital Media Production from the College of Social
Communication Innovation, Srinakharinwirot University, Thailand 2025.
”Since I was young I’ve been fascinated by storytelling and history, believing that everything is connected throug narratives. In my work, I aim to blend visual aesthetics with cultural depth and emotional reconance.”
One of my most meaninful projects is the period film ”Mae Im”, where I served as both director and editor. It was officially selected for screening at Wildtype Short Film Festival 2023, a recognition that affirmed my passion for cultural storytelling and visual style.
In 2024, I had the honor of representing Thailand as an Art Desingner for short film ”Like a Girl”, produced under the ASEAN-ROK Film Leaders Incubator (FLY2024).

I also had the opportunity to participate in the Film Leaders Incubator (FLY) program, which was held in Laos and organized by Busan, South Korea. The program brought together young filmmakers from all 11 ASEAN countries to collaborate and create films within just two weeks. During this intensive period, we produced three short films, and I took on different roles in each project: Like a Girl — Art Designer, Runaway — Art Designer, The Family — Hair, Makeup, and Costume.
This experience was invaluable as it allowed me to apply the knowledge I gained from my undergraduate studies in film to real productions, while also sharpening my problem-solving skills in fast-paced, collaborative environments. Most importantly, the program gave me the chance to build meaningful networks with filmmakers across ASEAN, which I believe will continue to play a crucial role in my professional journey.
”I see myself not just as video editor, but as a storyteller. I’m passionate about crafting stories that connect across cultures and generations.”
Later, I had the opportunity to expand my experience into public speaking. I was invited several times to give lectures on the topics of influencers and guidance for pursuing higher education in Thailand. These experiences not only sharpened my speaking skills but also deepened my passion for inspiring and connecting with others.
I believe that my abilities in writing, public speaking, and motivating people are valuable tools that I can use to create meaningful impact in the areas I find most important.
I began my creative journey in high school when I wrote my first book, a mystery novel titled The Uncharted School. This project was more than just a story it was the foundation that allowed me to discover the power of communication and storytelling through writing.
In 2021, I dedicated myself to researching and documenting the history of my own family, carefully studying the origins, symbols, and stories that shaped our identity. I later translated this work into Thai so that younger generations could understand their roots, which gave me not only a deeper appreciation of my heritage but also a stronger sense of the importance of history in people’s lives.
What began as a personal project and hobby eventually grew into a professional path. In 2023, I was entrusted with the role of producer and scriptwriter for Chumchon Champion, a television program broadcast on Channel 5 in Thailand. The show highlighted local arts and culture, allowing me to apply my academic training in communication to real-world practice and to support communities in telling their stories.
”Guided by my university’s motto that education means growth, these experiences taught me how knowledge can be transformed into meaningful contributions for both family and society.”
