I have almost seven years of experience working with an international company where I globally interacted with many people from different backgrounds and traditions.

What aspects of Mason made you choose to study here?

The primary reason that I chose to study at Mason was the diversity of the students on campus. I love meeting new people around the world with different beliefs, traditions, and backgrounds.

It would be great if I could work for an international company or multicultural company near the DC area.

What is your favorite thing about being a student?

My favorite thing about being a student is that I have an opportunity to learn and study.  Many people don't even have a chance to study in university.

Which languages do you speak?

I can speak 2 languages. Thai is my mother tongue language and of course English is my second language.

What was the last book you read? Do you recommend it? (Why/why not)

The last book that I read was about an American History & Culture. I am not sure about the name of the title but it's really helpful for me. Because it's great for me to learn new things about US history and culture.
