Background

About Ora Wattanatassi

As a Masters of Applied Anthropology & Participatory Development graduate (Gender & Development), supported by a Bachelor of Arts/Asian Studies, I have gained strong academic foundations, and the practical and analytic skills needed to make a difference in the community, supported by the theory to assess my impact in policy and program management. Research, analysis and collating content to enable informed decisions are among my strengths. I excel in gathering information, opinion pieces and data from varied sources and drawing conclusions that can lead to practical benefits and help shape opinion. I interpret and integrate qualitative and quantitative data to unearth new findings, and translate research outcomes into meaningful reports. While studying, I’ve gained work experience as a Dental Assistant where I’ve honed skills in problem-solving, multitasking, and teamwork. I have worked in highly charged environments with time-sensitive deadlines, and I rise to the challenge every time. I have a strong work ethic and lead by example. I meet and exceed expectations and hold myself fully accountable for my performance. I thrive on the many challenges faced in my day-to-day work environment. I’m highly organised with strong presentation skills, writing abilities, and work equally well autonomously as with multidisciplinary teams. I’ve taken leadership roles in several time-critical projects in both work and academic settings. I excel in driving project success through meticulous planning and delegation. I define and implement work priorities and manage team members to meet competing objectives while ensuring quality results. I interact clearly seamlessly with people from diverse backgrounds, displaying cultural, gender, religion, race, and age sensitivity and adaptability. With a demonstrated capacity for communication, I able to convey views efficiently and positively across a variety of formats, including speech, panel, debate, and group discussion.
