About Me:
I'm from Chiang Mai, Thailand, a city rich in culture, history, and incredible food. Im passionate about traveling, trying new foods, and immersing myself in different culturesthese have always been a big part of who I am. Traveling not only inspires me but also deepens my understanding of the world and its people.
These interests played a key role in my decision to pursue a PhD in Marketing, where I'm focusing on the resilience of street food vendors in Chiang Mai. I find joy in learning how cultural traditions, like street food, can adapt and thrive even in challenging times. My research is driven by a desire to contribute meaningful insights to help communities preserve their cultural identity while navigating modern challenges.
