What was your first job?

Tell us a bit about your career to date and how you got into recruitment.
After graduating from Silpakorn University with First Class Honours in Psychology and Guidance, I was eager to build a career that allowed me to work closely with people. I came across a job post from Peak Recruitment, applied, and successfully passed the interview. I was thrilled to join the team! In this role, I support the recruitment process, source candidates, map markets, and match the right talent with the right opportunities in the global food and agriculture sectors.
If you had to pick a job in the food or agriculture industry, what would it be? And why?
I would pick a job in the food industry because I find it fascinating how food companies create products that connect with people’s daily lives. I admire how they focus on customer experience, innovation, and continuous improvement. This industry is dynamic, fast-moving, and plays an important role in society.
What are your interests outside of work?
I love reading books and exploring new experiences that I’ve never tried before. Whether it’s learning something new, visiting new places, or meeting new people, I enjoy expanding my perspective.
Tell us something not many people know about you?

What is your favorite food?
My favorite food is Thai food because it’s full of flavors—spicy, sweet, salty, sour—all in perfect balance.
