Tell us about your academic journey before joining SCGC.
I first came to Thailand in 2019 to pursue my undergraduate studies, majoring in Marketing. Throughout and after my academic years, I seized opportunities to gain practical experience, including interning at one of Thailand's leading banks and working as a full-time Digital Marketing Consultant for a major social media platform. These experiences helped shape my professional identity and broadened my understanding of the marketing landscape. Currently, I am a Master's degree candidate at Chulalongkorn University, specializing in Branding and Marketing Management, continuously seeking ways to elevate my knowledge and skills in the field.

To this day, I remain confident that it was the right choice, as the role aligns well with the direction I envision for my career.

Some of my key responsibilities at SCGC involve developing branding initiatives, communication plans and localizing content to ensure smooth regional expansion and a strong localized brand presence.
Among various projects, working on the LSP Book—a high-profile public relations material for government audiences—was one of the most impactful experiences. This project held significant weight as it was created for government officials, media, and local authorities, directly influencing SCGC's brand reputation, credibility and trust.
Precision, attention to detail, and cultural sensitivity were crucial, and I’m proud to have contributed to its successful completion. By collaborating across teams and navigating challenges, I was able to support my team in delivering the project on time and with the highest level of quality. It was a moment that truly reflected SCGC's value of excellence and the trust given to interns like me.
