What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote business, operations, support, virtual assistant, or entry-level business development role where I can apply structured research, client communication, project coordination, and AI-enabled workflow automation.

I coordinate research, project delivery, client communication, and AI-enabled workflows across education, financial services, sales, and independent market analysis. At Lane Technologies, I led a coding team, directed customer-acquisition research, and managed technical and client-facing projects end to end.

In my current teaching roles at Sarasas Witaed Suvarnabhumi School and Phonics First, I create assessments, lessons, presentations, and recorded instructional content while giving clear, actionable feedback. I also use ChatGPT and Claude daily to support research, writing, communication, workflow automation, and basic technical problem-solving.

Previously, I advised Liberty Life clients on investments, retirement planning, and insurance, and managed sales hiring, targets, coaching, and performance at MVG. As an independent day trader, I apply structured market analysis, planning, and disciplined risk management under uncertainty.
