About me

My background

I am a biologist with a PhD degree in virology. I spent the first years after my PhD doing cancer research, and after that I transitioned to industry where I have taken on positions as a senior scientist, product owner and technical writer.

I have always been passionate about what I am doing, and for many years that meant using my “nerdy side” to develop software for cancer research and diagnostics. My people skills have always been at the forefront and helping people around me has always come natural to me.

Today all ends have met, and I am living my dream and help people grow and unfold their inner potential. My academic toolbox has been expanded with some of the best courses and educations I’ve been able to find in the areas of facilitation, coaching and stress coaching. I have developed my own courses and workshops, always based on scientific literature.

"As an employee, I am more productive now than half a year ago. As a young researcher, I am again able to follow my dream to develop more scientific knowledge. As a human, my life is closer to what it should be. I feel happy again."

I am passionate about nature

Recently, I finished building a sustainable house in a forest (my Nature House). The house is a second home that I use for work stays and retreats/courses, where nature plays an active role in the training and in the personal development that is initiated during your time there.

My own PhD time

I had the best possible PhD journey myself with a fantastic supervisor, a wonderful stay abroad and have only been met with trust and respect. I know from my own experiences that a PhD journey can be one that can make you grow, not only as a researcher, but also as a human being.

From my perspective there is some truth in the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. I also had bumps on my way with experiments that failed, a research question that had to be redefined, three small children, and the loss of some of my dearest family members. Some of these bumps were huge and could have swept my feet off the ground if not for the support I got from my supervisor, my peers, family, friends and wider network around me.

A safe environment and good support are crucial elements in the surroundings for your PhD journey, but it’s not enough. As a traveller you must also be well equipped for the journey you’ve initiated and be prepared for the different types of weather and landscape you’ll meet on your way.

My workshops and courses revolve around developing confidence and personal leadership because when you trust your own worth, you dare to take up space and pursue opportunities
