Nichakul or “Nicky” is a Thai student in the Dual BA Program with Sciences Po. She majors in Political Science and minors in Sustainable Development. A recipient of Thailand’s prestigious King’s Scholarship, her interests lie at the intersection of politics, communications, sustainability, and creative expression.

At Sciences Po, she served as Head of Communications for the Le Havre Campus Student Council. At Columbia, she joined the General Studies Student Council as Content Coordinator in 2025-2026.

Beyond academics and student government, Nicky has practiced traditional Thai dance professionally since the age of seven. She also enjoys creating content on social media and exploring how storytelling and digital platforms can bring people and communities together. As Chief of Communications, she looks forward to combining her creativity and experience to strengthen GSSC’s digital presence, amplify student voices, and help students feel more connected to their Council and one another.
