With nearly 12 years of teaching experience in Thailand, I am a dedicated and results-driven educator who thrives on creativity, connection, and continuous learning. As a licensed English teacher with a TEFL certification and a strong foundation in TOEIC training, I focus on developing my students’ full potential—academically, socially, and creatively.
Outside the classroom, I wear many hats: I’m a national award-winning theatre director and scriptwriter, known for staging original plays and musicals that have competed—and triumphed—on prestigious stages across Thailand. My passion for storytelling extends into the digital space, where I create content for my growing YouTube and TikTok channels, sharing both educational content and the everyday adventures of living as a foreigner in Thailand.
I hold a degree in Business with a major in Marketing, have served as Vice President for Marketing, and am currently completing my MBA. My background spans customer service, production, HR, and promotions, giving me an edge in handling people, planning processes, and communicating ideas effectively.
I’m also highly adept at using tech tools for engagement—whether it's crafting visually compelling presentations via Canva or designing interactive activities through Liveworksheets, Wordwall, and Google Forms.
Trilingual in English, Filipino, and basic Thai, I bring a cross-cultural perspective, strong interpersonal skills, and an adaptable mindset—qualities that have helped me thrive both in education and in the digital world. I'm open to inquiries and collaborations that align with growth, creativity, and impact.More...
