My Experience Abroad:
An international educational development scholar, I studied and engaged in conversations about different international conventions and initiatives that advocate for access to equity education. So, this summer I interned with UNESCO Bangkok's Non-Formal Education and Literacy Team, which allowed me to work on various projects related to education development and outreach. I supported my team to develop video contents for an online course on lifelong learning as well as researched and collected learning materials on non-formal education to support Myanmar's Department of Alternative Education. It was a unique and rich experience to be able to advocate governments across the Asian-Pacific region to provide sustainable education programs and resources to enhance non-formal education and lifelong learning.
