About Me
With over 17 years of experience in Thailand's education sector, I have positioned myself as a change agent who works to transform lives and society through learning solutions and research. My research interests include theatre and performance training, theatre and mental health, innovative learning design, and the creative industries. I conducted research on Thailand's gaming sector (for Thailand's Creative Economy Agency) and a UNESCO study on the creative city potential of Buriram province. I am one of the instructors for the SDGAcademy and UNESCO online professional development course Equity and Inclusion in Education, which is available on edX.
I have vast expertise in theatre as an actor and director, encompassing a spectrum of styles from realism to physical theatre and contemporary dance. I have also appeared in films, television shows, and commercials. In 2016, I was nominated for best supporting actor by Thailand National Film Association.
As an actor trainer, I have developed my own approach to actor training, based on my training experiences in a number of different styles throughout the years, including physical theatre, Japanese Noh theatre, psychophysical acting, Butoh, and more. I earned a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies from Royal Holloway University of London and a PhD in Performance Practice (Actor Training) from the University of Exeter. I am also a certified yoga teacher!
