Summary
As a reporter for Radio Free Asia, I delivered impactful news from across the globe, including exclusive stories from the US, China, India, and Southeast Asia. My reporting, primarily in Burmese, was a vital source of information for the people of Myanmar. In 2011, my contributions led to my promotion to senior editor, where I went on to lead the radio and TV broadcasting teams.

Some of my original stories were even picked up by the English desk, translated, and adapted for a new audience. Many of these exclusive reports are still available on RFA's website.
