Having lived in five different countries, I moved to Canada in 2020 to deepen my understanding of Indigenous issues and live in the forest.

During my fellowship and subsequent freelancing experience at The Local, I worked on compelling digital news stories of national significance for English-speaking immigrants to Sweden. I learned the value of rigorous local reporting and filed daily breaking news within the hour and feature stories within a day.

While studying for a Master's of Journalism at the University of British Columbia one of the first stories I co-published was an (award-nominated) investigative piece that tracked an invisible biomass pipeline from the forests of British Columbia to a furnace in the U.K..

I won a spot on the Emmy-award-winning Global Reporting Program and produced an award-winning multimedia story on ageing.

I also have a Bachelor's (with honours) in English Literature from the University of Warwick in the U.K.
