I have a Bachelor of Law from Mae Fah Luang University and have consulted for international schools, universities, hospitality establishments, and manufacturing companies in Thailand over the past six years.

My skills include conducting thorough gap analyses and developing precise compliance strategies and action plans, ensuring that organizations not only understand PDPA principles but also implement and maintain compliance through continuous monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation of their data protection practices.
