Started to work in tourism in Sweden after my University studies. Since I am a restless soul I soon found myself backpacking through Asia and Australia for a good year. That eventually brought me to Austria and then Greece, where I continued working in tourism and entertainment both as employed and employer. 15 years later I returned to Sweden with my family. Here I have had the fortune to work with Young people, both as a teacher in school and as a recreational tutor. On the side I´m running an Internet Company together with my husband.

Consensus is an underestimated state today. People dig down in trenches and refuse to change their opinions. If we want to save our planet from extremism, climate crisis, antibiotic resistance and extinction of animal species, we need to consider whether consensus between people in terms of unity, solidarity and equitable distribution can be our rescue. We need to make an honest attempt all of us to go in the same direction, to reach the goals we need to achieve in order to turn the red numbers.

Visited a TEDxYouth in Stockholm a couple of years ago. There and then I decided that this is an experience that I want young peole of my hometown to have. Now it is about to come through! Together with 20 students from two gymnasiums schools here in Sundsvall and a handful of really good collegues of mine the first TEDxYouth in Sundsvall will take place on the 15th of March 2019.

Dancing, especially to tango. It gives me an inner peace and many good friends.
