I'm a social educator/disability nurse, that is well known for my energy in lectures. I have a passion for making new student focused projects and including students in the preparation and execution of the learning process.
On my spare time, I'm working in different NGO's like The Norwegian Veterans Association for International Operations (NVIO), The Union for Social Educators in Delta (Vernepleierforbundet i Delta) and other local organisations in my home community.
I'm also a person you will see out in nature, with a love for hiking in the mountains, and "unplugging" many miles away from society both summer and winter.
