About:

At the age of 15, I founded my own sports media company, @BangkokBuckets, striving to increase the exposure of basketball players in Bangkok through creating and uploading one minute highlight tapes. This consequently led to my deep interest in the sports industry. Driven by this passion, I have pursued a major in Sport Management at the Tisch Institute for Global Sport. My journey as a content creator and entrepreneur has taught me the skills of videography and editing on Final Cut Pro and Davinci. Through this venture, I've immersed myself in marketing, and brand growth. My effective communication, collaborative spirit, determination, and creativity are the strengths that I excel at most. Eager to contribute to the realms of media, marketing, or management within the sports industry, I am poised to leverage my skills and enthusiasm to make a meaningful impact.
