— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
Actually, I think I have many things people might be surprised about. For example, I have a degree in science, a cosmetic science major with first-class honors. I guess people don’t think I’m that smart, hahaha! Another thing I think most of the time people are surprised about is when they know that I’m a Trans woman. There are both positive and negative responses about that but I only take the positive vibes back because I’m so proud and love myself who I am
— How did you become a model?
I started this journey about 3 years ago by joining a beauty pageant. After I was crowned, I had an opportunity for my very first modeling job and it turned out I really liked it. It was so challenging but so much fun. The fire of passion to be a model was lit up that day. After I had some modeling experience, I decided to audition for a modeling reality show called “The Face Thailand Season 5”, and winning this show was like officially opening the door to the modeling industry.
— Your most embarrassing moment:
I slipped while jumping off a box and completely fell on the stage floor in the reality show I mentioned above, so thousands were in the audience and millions were watching at home. Yes, my mess was on TV, broadcasted. It was the “talk of the town” and someone did a meme about it LOL. However, I still won the show. If you’re curious why I won in spite of slipping, go check the shows out
