At UN Women Asia and the Pacific, I coordinated business continuity, crisis management, and emergency preparedness activities across Asia-Pacific and the Arab States. I delivered 45+ regional training sessions and workshops, and supported a rise in regional compliance from 58% to 99%.

At the United Nations Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, I supported the Bio-Bridge Initiative by reviewing project documentation and coordinating technical collaboration with countries and partners. I also prepared policy briefs, analytical reports, and knowledge products, and supported preparations for SBI meetings and COP16 activities.

At Global Neighbourhood for Media Innovation (GNMI), I supported donor-funded programmes through research, data collection, stakeholder coordination, monitoring, and reporting. I prepared proposals and donor reports and maintained project documentation and deliverable trackers.

In my current roles at Potisarnpittayakorn and Global Shapers Bangkok, I coordinate programme activities, stakeholder communications, and partnerships. I also develop guidance and learning materials, organize workshops, and prepare reports to support informed decision-making and community development.
