Work Experience
2011-current Teacher of the Distance Education between Lodi High
School, Wisconsin and Sa-nguan Ying School, Suphan
Buri, Thailand.
For the past four years, I have been teaching Southeast Asian Studies,
via Skype, to groups of American students of Lodi High School,
Wisconsin, USA. The Distance Education Program was initiated as an
exchange program between the two schools. The core purpose of the
program is to share knowledge and cultural values of both parts of the

world to students and academics of both nations. The program consists
of two sections.
An American History course is taught by an American teacher, also via
Skype, to grade 12 students of the English Program of Sa-nguan Ying
School, Suphan Buri. I am responsible for teaching Southeast Asian
Studies to American students enrolling in this course. All of them were in
grade 10-12.
Within this role, I was responsible for creating the course outline of this
course, working in corporation with a co-American teacher in lesson
planning, learning how to operate tools and programs such as Skype,
blogging my teaching materials on websites to allow student access
from distance, and managing my time well as the course is taught
outside of my normal working hours.
Because of many tasks performed, my English skills have been
improving immensely. I have gained a huge confidence in teaching
comfortably in English to American audiences. Because of the distance
between teacher and learners, students must have an access to
teaching materials at all times. Therefore, I have learned to use
blogging as a resource center for this course. As a result, this
responsibility has boosted my ability in the operation of various
computing programs, i.e. Blogger, YouTube, and Slideshare.
2005-current Teacher, Translator, and Administrative Officer of the
English Program of Sa-nguan Ying School, Suphan Buri,
Thailand.
Within this position I have acted as a responsible staff member and
participant of the Student Exchange Program between Sa-nguan Ying
School and schools in Tasmania, Australia. Although this position has
involved many different tasks and responsibilities, there have been two
major roles.
The first role, as a Teacher, has involved teaching Social Studies in
English to Grade 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 Thai students. This experience has
helped me to further develop and improve my teaching and planning
skills. In this position I have been responsible for creating lesson plans
for all the topics I was teaching. As a result, of this experience, I believe
that I am now better organized with many of my daily routine tasks.
Because I was working with younger people in this position, I feel that I
now possess valuable skills in communicating more effectively with them.
The second role in this position has involved work as an Administrative
Officer. In this role, I have been involved in a diverse range of matters
relevant to using and developing English skills. My main duties in this
role are to translate educational and administrative documents into
either English or Thai, and organise and prepare internal or external
documents through coordination between international departments.

Within this position, I have also acted as a coordinator and translator for
communication in meetings between Thai people and others as well as
assuming part responsibility for the Student Exchange Program between
Sa-nguan Ying School and several different schools in Tasmania,
Australia. Since the Student Exchange Program between Sa-nguan Ying
School and Lodi High School, Wisconsin, USA started in 2008, I
have acted as a Master of ceremonies in welcoming and farewell
ceremonies and a translator for communication in various classes, i.e.
music, cooking, crafting, and Thai traditional dancing classes.
Because of the many different tasks performed in this position, I have
significantly enhanced my English proficiency in speaking, reading,
writing and translation. In addition, the experiences gained have also
fostered my confidence with many common PC applications such as the
Microsoft programs Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, and with Adobe
Photoshop. In this position I am often required to meet strict deadlines.
As a result, I believe that I can work well independently and have
acquired a good work ethic with a positive attitude and a strong focus
on providing high quality service to clients.
2004 Field Research Assistant, School of Geography & Environmental
Studies, University of Tasmania.
This work involved traveling (by 4WD and walking) to several remote
and isolated areas within Tasmania and assisting with collection of
ecological data as part of a PhD project. From this experience, I
acquired an understanding of ecological data collection techniques and
experimental design. I also gained some appreciation and valuable
insights regarding nature conservation issues and ecological restoration
procedures within Tasmania.
2003-2004 Field Researcher, Inspiring Place Consultants
During this period I worked for an environmental consulting company
responsible for producing information to be used in the development of
the Myrtle Forest Site Development Plan, Wellington Park, Collinsvale,
Tasmania.
I was responsible for producing a report containing information relevant
to area. The report contained two main features. The first described
geographical and natural features, current usage, and other relevant
information of the site. I was required to search for a wide range of
information from multiple sources including books, journals, databases,
Internet searches, and by conducting personal interviews. The latter
contained information on people’s aspirations for future development of
the area.
With a strong emphasis on public participation, questionnaire surveys,
personal interviews, and community meetings were utilized as a means
of colleting data. For the project, I was required to work closely with the
Wellington Park Management Trust, an established organization in
charge of producing the plan. As a result, of working closely with this

project, I developed proficient computer skills, presentation skills,
creativeness, valuable document arrangement, an ability to search and
collect relevant information and experience in working within a team
environment.
2001-2004 Part-time Waitress, Several Restaurants in Hobart, Tasmania
! Mai-Ake Thai Restaurant
! Vanidol’s Asian Cuisine, Thai Restaurant
! mit Zitrone Restaurant, Australian-owned restaurant
! Amulet Restaurant, American-owned restaurant
! Sen’s Asian Sensation Restaurant, Chinese-owned restaurant
My main responsibilities within this area included customer services
during lunch and dinner, food handling, cash-register operation, and
general cleaning.
Several years of working within the restaurant service established my
ability to work as part of a team within a demanding work environment
where outcomes must be delivered within demanding time frames. From
this experience, I gained a proven ability to be reliable, strong service-
minded, trustworthy and skilled in dealing with people.
1999-2001 Secretary of J. Builders Corporation Ltd
In this position I was responsible for all administrative and secretarial
duties. This included preparing documents, taking minutes at meetings,
and attending to visitors and enquires via telephone. Working within this
organization developed my competency with various PC applications.
This position helped me to become well organized with my daily work
routines and developed my ability to work independently with minimum
supervision when required.
1998 Reporter, Matichon Daily Newspaper
As a condition of course completion from Chiang Mai University, I was
required to undertake a period of employment as a reporter. In this field
I performed the role of reporter for a short time before moving into the
position of editor. I was also involved in the roles of editor and reporter
for ‘Ang-Keaw Newspaper’, Chiang Mai University newspaper, Mass
Communication during this period.
