I just started as a Higher Executive Officer in the administration at the department of chemistry where you can find me in VU18. I am non-binary and my pronouns are they/them, and de/dem in Norwegian.

I have experience as a host at the National museum, daily receiving thousands of guests from all over the world both near and far to give them memories for life. I've also worked as a blacksmith and guide at the Norwegian Folkmuseum where I showed children from 4 years old and up that they have the ability to shape metal. In addition I worked 6 years at the expedition at Folkeuniversitetet, so it's safe so say I have a lot of experience working frontline with human interaction.

I have a bachelor degree in audio design from Westerdals Oslo Act and studied Norwegian sign language and interpretation for 3 years at OsloMet.

It brings me great joy to see others thrive and grow and I'm looking forward to helping student through their studies. I have a passion for making all parts of society available for everyone regardless of disability, identity, and background and with this in mind I hope to have a positive impact on UiO.
