Swasdika!
สวัสดี : “S̄wạs̄dī” means “hello” in Thailand!
Meet our English student Suchanat Buckman, known by many as “Kate”. She is from Roi Et, Thailand and has been living in Wisconsin for a little over 2 years. In Thailand, Kate worked in jewelry design and designed both her and her husband’s wedding bands. She is a very talented seamstress as well. During the pandemic, she has been designing, creating, and selling beautiful fabric masks. What an entrepreneur!
The masks are designed with a matching built in lanyard. What a fantastic idea!
Kate recently started a job working at Goodwill Industries pricing clothing. Her coworkers and managers love her friendly and positive attitude. In April, she was awarded with Employee of The Month. Way to go Kate!
Kate is an ELL student here at Moraine Park. She has been taking classes here since May of 2019. Kate also participated in computer classes in our Student Success Center (SSC) with Shannon Huberty. Using the skills and language learned from these classes, we were able to help Kate apply and interview for her job.
