I am a consultant, writer, teacher and independent researcher. I have a PhD (2015) and M.A (Umeå University), a B.Ed. (Södertörn University), and a B.A (USQ Australia) in media, language studies, education, and journalism with a research specialty in technologies for interactive narrative. I worked from 2002-2013 as a researcher and academic (Umeå University). From 2013-2016 I worked in copy writing, translation, marketing and training, mostly as a digital content designer for med tech companies. Since starting my own company in 2017 and diversifying, I am a project coordinator working with community cultural development, and as a teacher, editor, translator and writer who works in English and Swedish. I live at the intersections of culture, media, technology and language. I have been described as a creative and generative thinker, and often seem to be able to apply innovative solutions to the issue at hand. My music and sound works have been downloaded over 100, 000 times and online videos have had tens of thousands of views. I have played at music festivals in Germany, Sweden, Australia, Finland and Holland and my music has been released on labels in the USA, the UK, Australia, Sweden and Ukraine.
