Hi, I'm Sonya. I'm from Cornell University and the United States. I'm currently interning with an architecture company, but I'm working with marketing for a non-profit. They found it, so [unclear], actually connecting me to this perfect company that my boss actually described as a perfect fit for me. So I do marketing and nonprofit work, but also get to deal with the corporate side, which is everything I wanted.

And in terms of AIP itself, everything is super planned out and thoughtful. They think of everything, really, from sending you to your first day of work to giving you a pre-loaded BTS card. So I really couldn't be happier with my experience in Thailand.
