What I Bring

With a background in Geography and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), I bring both technical skills and a storytelling mindset to my role. My career spans environmental and foreign development project management, as well as GIS consultancy. These roles have reinforced the importance of making scientific data accessible and relevant to a broad audience, a mission that aligns perfectly with GRID-Arendal’s work.

My Focus Areas

In My Own Words

It has been an honour to work with the Arctic Council Secretariat and now with GRID-Arendal’s Polar Programme. Working alongside Indigenous communities in Horizon 2020 projects like Arctic PASSION and EcoTip has deepened my commitment to inclusive, respectful, and meaningful environmental communication.
