She pursued her education at the Thai-German Engineering Preparatory School followed by studies at King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok.

Alongside her singing career, she hosted a radio show on Channel 93 "Talk Talk". MilkShake released a follow-up single titled "JOH" in 2016 before disbanding.
Expanding her presence into China in 2017, Nene took part in the music culture show Sing the Chinese where she performed "I Don't Want to Say".
