About

1900 hours Turbofan | 2100 hours Total Time Boeing 737 First Officer, bringing a multicultural perspective developed across three continents. I grew up for 18 years in Thailand, before returning to university back in the UK and USA, completing my pilot training in Spain thereafter. Living, studying and working across various countries provides me with international perspectives which allow naturally synergy with people from all backgrounds. I ranked 1st in my Mechanical Engineering degree and achieved first-time passes in all 14 ATPL exams (97% average), achievements which are due to strong work ethic and a genuine interest in building a strong technical foundation outside of flying. Alongside airline operations, I previously helped manage a high-volume COVID testing programme in Bangkok, coordinating an international team delivering up to 500 tests per day—an experience that strengthened my structured decision-making and disciplined approach under pressure
