Curriculum vitae

Born in Bangkok, Thailand.

I completed my BA in Cultural Studies (History, Philosophy, Literature) at Hagen University, Germany, in 2006 and stayed there as a course advisor for Medical Ethics (http://www.medizinethik.eu/). My Bachelor thesis was on medical practice in Japan during the Early Modern Age and its impact on European medicine.

In 2007/08 I did an MA in the History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine at Durham University (MA thesis: Professional Boundaries and Teamwork in Intensive Care Units - the Status and Remit of the Nurse in Theory and Practice).

At present, I am pursuing a PhD degree in Health Studies within the CHMD, supervised by Dr Lutz Sauerteig.
