Education
2020 – 2023: Ph.D. in English Language Teaching, Thammasat University, Thailand

After completing secondary school, I was accepted into the Faculty of Education at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, where I pursued a bachelor's degree in English. For four years, I studied English language teaching under the guidance of highly qualified and supportive lecturers. Courses such as the methodology for English language teaching exposed me to a wide range of teaching activities, materials, and techniques. During my teaching practicum, I realized the importance of creating positive outcomes for students. With this, my dedication to teaching was recognized with the Outstanding Teaching Award by the Faculty of Education.
Following my undergraduate years, I received the "Academic Excellence Scholarship" to pursue a master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at the University of York in the United Kingdom. The MA TESOL program significantly enhanced my teaching skills and introduced me to various innovative approaches and methodologies. I had the privilege of learning from world-renowned academics who broadened my perspectives and encouraged independent thinking. Under the mentorship of Dr. Bill Soden, I attended academic conferences and completed an original research project, further solidifying my expertise in the field.
Upon completing my master’s degree, I chose to continue my academic journey with a doctoral degree at the Language Institute, Thammasat University. The institution's excellent learning environment, international academic standards, and relevant courses aligned perfectly with my interests. Working with my PhD supervisor, Associate Professor Dr. Supong Tangkiengsirisin, my doctoral dissertation focused on language assessment literacy. I successfully defended my PhD research in January 2023 and was awarded my doctoral degree.
In fact, my academic journey took a significant turn in 2020 when, at the age of 25, I embarked on my career as a full-time lecturer at Ramkhamhaeng University, Thailand. Fueled by a deep passion for teaching and unwavering determination, I dedicated myself to the field of English language education. This commitment was recognized in 2022 when I was promoted to Assistant Professor, marking a pivotal milestone in my professional growth.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience and expertise in English language teaching and research. My academic endeavors have provided me with a profound understanding of pedagogical methodologies and innovative research techniques. This blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application has enabled me to make meaningful contributions to the field, influencing both my students and peers.
As I continue to advance in my career, I am committed to furthering the field of English language education through ongoing research, innovative teaching practices, and a dedication to academic excellence.
