My Background

My journey in marketing and events has been shaped by diverse experiences across cultures and industries:

  • Global Perspective

    I was raised in a global mindset—literally. Growing up in Bangkok and attending an international school, cross-cultural thinking became second nature.

  • Early Business Experience

    By my teens, I was managing logistics and trade show operations for my family's international novelty business—learning the ropes of marketing, merchandising, and events before I even had a driver's license.

  • Leadership Development

    That early foundation evolved into producing leadership workshops for global executives while still in college—handling everything from event marketing and content design to registration systems and audience engagement.

  • Proven Results

    Results? Multi-million dollars in sales and hundreds of thousands of attendees—powered by strategy, creativity, and a love for bringing ideas to life across borders.
