What I'm looking for

I'm looking to coordinate impactful programmes and partnerships advancing human rights, gender equality, climate advocacy, and civil society capacity in multicultural, remote-first environments.

I've coordinated multi-country social impact programmes across APAC for civil society networks, feminist organisations, and international NGOs.

With Young Advocates for Democracy, I coordinate activities and stakeholder engagement for a network of 20+ youth human rights defenders across Asia, Africa, and Europe, supported by Heinrich Böll Foundation. I also designed and delivered a six-day international wellbeing conference for 20+ youth partners.

At GSCC, I led the Creative Climate Fellowship across Thailand, Nepal, Vietnam, and Indonesia, supporting fellows from onboarding through climate communication campaign delivery. I've also coordinated DRAPAC 23 for 544 participants from 35 countries and managed a plastics-reduction venture incubation programme in Thailand.

My work is grounded in gender equality, human rights, SRHR, youth empowerment, and community building. I work fluently in English and Thai across remote-first, multicultural partnerships.
