SIRINDA (PAMMY) CHALERMTHIRALERT
Hi! I'm
Sirinda Chalermthiralert
I am a senior in high school. Beyond this identity, I am an aspiring researcher, beekeeper, scuba diver, environmentalist, advocate, and the list goes on...
...but you shouldn't just take my word for it. I created this page to visually walk you through my path of exploration and creating innovation for a more sustainable future, as well as my mission to foster a more inclusive world. Enjoy!
On a more unserious note, I am also a huge music geek. You're welcome to check out my Spotify profile below :)
(I listen to almost everything)! ↓
(though most people call me Pammy :)
