He was with UN sharing his thoughts on how we contribute to one of the many SDGS (Sustainable Development Goals).

His diverse work experiences have cultivated a rich array of skills and interests. “Over time, I developed a profound appreciation for books, culminating in the establishment of my own library. My roles as an MC and anchor, combined with my studies at DMC, ignited my passion for public speaking, which inspired me to create ‘Think with PingAnn’,” he elaborated.

The Department of Media and Communication, known as DMC at the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP), was established in 2001 and is the first academic institution in Cambodia to equip students with specialized training in communication, journalism, and media. Pingann is a former DMC student from batch 12.

Think with PingAnn, launched in 2018, is a Facebook channel dedicated to promoting holistic well-being—physically, mentally, and financially. As a committed advocate for health equity and women’s empowerment, Pingann shares impactful narratives and engages in meaningful discussions on topics such as education, self-care, and mental health.

Reflecting on his upbringing, he recalled how his family instilled the importance of appropriate attire for various occasions, motivating him to establish an Attire Lounge. “My parents taught me that regardless of our financial situation, dressing appropriately is a fundamental principle. This belief continues to inspire my work,” he stated calmly.

Driven by an innate curiosity and a desire for knowledge, Pingann enjoys exploring diverse pursuits. “I believe our intrinsic drive to learn and earn opens doors to fascinating opportunities,” he asserted. “I am not the type to concentrate solely on a single endeavor; I thrive on engaging in multiple activities to foster creativity. Inspiration springs from various sources, including entrepreneurship and other content creators, enabling us to amalgamate ideas from many places”, he continued.

Pingann’s grandmother has had a profound influence on his life. Although he could not pursue his childhood dream of becoming a doctor due to familial circumstances, he has successfully forged a career in the health sector through strategic communication. “As a child, I aspired to be a doctor to help others, inspired by my grandmother’s nurturing nature. Unfortunately, our family could not afford it,” he lamented.

“I have never studied medicine; however, my secondary interest was advertising, which still allows me to focus on health communication. I promote health through strategic messaging and social media campaigns. While it may not equate to being a doctor directly, I believe it carries similar significance,” he added.
