What are you currently doing and where?
I work for UNDP Thailand Policy Lab as a Policy Analyst, and I am also building my own development consulting firm specialising in gender.
How do you use what you learned at LSE Gender in your current role?
LSE Gender equipped me with intersectional and decolonial lens which help making my development work much more impactful. They also enabled me to see the structural problems which help me to connect with like-minded partners and stakeholders to tackle the issues intersectionally together.
Is there a particular highlight about your time at LSE Gender you would like to share?
I loved all my lecturers, especially Clare and SM. They are super insightful and authentic, which sparked a lot of curiosities in me to pursue so many social subjects that excited me.
