She made her feature film debut as Namwaan in Dream! (2025), the English-language Thai musical film directed by Paul Spurrier.

In its review of Dream!, ForReel described her performance as "fantastic," noting that she played the character with "hilarious and insanely watchable perfection" while also revealing a deeper sadness and vulnerability beneath the surface.
