About

A teacher’s practice.
A researcher’s curiosity.

My professional journey connects language teaching, creative learning, and questions that emerge from the classroom.

Professional profile

Learning alongside
young learners.

I am a primary English teacher and classroom researcher with experience teaching English and integrated learning in a Thai demonstration-school context. Since 2020, I have worked at La-or Utis Demonstration School, Suan Dusit University, Lampang.

My work connects extensive reading, project-based learning, and technology-enhanced instruction. I design lessons and assessment tools, support creative student work, and collaborate with Thai and international colleagues.

I also mentor preservice teachers in lesson development and classroom inquiry, supporting them as they prepare and share their work at international conferences.
