Summary

Accomplished Electrical Engineer and dedicated Refugee and Human Rights Advocate with a proven track record in conflict resolution, technical support, and community engagement. Currently residing in Thailand as a refugee from Myanmar, I have demonstrated excellence in enhancing system efficiencies and leading impactful community-building initiatives. My recent completion of Ottawa Dialogue's Leadership Learning Series, including Specialty Modules in Mediation and Dialogue as Leadership Skills, highlights my commitment to effective leadership and constructive communication.


With extensive experience in supervising technical projects, conducting legal research, and fostering teamwork, I have consistently achieved notable improvements in operational outcomes and advocacy efforts. I am actively pursuing further education and improving my English proficiency, with the goal of securing scholarships and making meaningful contributions to both my community and global humanitarian efforts.


As I prepare for future academic and professional opportunities, including obtaining an IELTS certificate, I am dedicated to leveraging my skills and knowledge to drive positive change and support broader humanitarian causes.
