About Me
PERSONAL BACKGROUND and ASPIRATIONS
I was born and raised in Phrae Province and continued to live there until my junior year of high school. I then moved to Chiang Mai to study at Yupparaj Wittayalai School in the science and mathematics program, following my aspirations, with my family also relocating there.
My passion for science and my dreams began in childhood. I enjoyed conducting science experiments, inventing various toys, and was fascinated by stars and flight. These interests inspired me to dream of becoming a scientist, inventor, and astronaut, following in the footsteps of renowned figures like Albert Einstein: discoverer of the powerful theory of relativity, the Wright brothers: inventor of the world's first airplane, and New Armstrong: the first astronaut to step on the surface of the moon, etc. However, as I grew older, I realized that becoming an astronaut was challenging but anyone could become a scientist and contribute to new discoveries.
Therefore, I chose to pursue a degree in Physical Therapy at the Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences to gain knowledge in healthcare, enabling me to care for myself and others while witnessing scientific advancements. After obtaining my bachelor's degree, I pursued a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering to invent technologies for clinical applications.
Throughout my life, I have been enthusiastic about meeting and exchanging knowledge with people. I have participated in various activities such as the "Ping Summer Camp XI" for engineering students, tutoring juniors, training sessions, invention contests, and cultural exchange programs with international friends.
Additionally, I come from a supportive family who raised me according to the teachings of the Tathagata Arahant Fully Enlightened Gautama Buddha, which include the five precepts: not to kill, not to steal, not to engage in sexual misconduct, not to lie, and not to consume intoxicants. Following these teachings has made me a calm, thoughtful, compassionate, emotionally balanced person, and I could eliminate dissatisfaction as quickly as the blink of an eye.
However, every coin has two sides, and so do we. In the matter I have mentioned, there may be a good side, and there may be another side: I recognize that I can sometimes be overly disciplined and critical, which can be challenging for myself and others. To address this, I continually strive to improve based on feedback from those around me. And sometimes if I prolong stay in the same position, it can make me so sleepy that I easily fall asleep. So, I often take a walk to stretch myself.
I am excited about the opportunity to bring my passion for science, healthcare, and continuous improvement to the organization.
