WildHub Community Advocates Coordinator|Interdisciplinary Researcher, Uppsala University
Since July 2025, I have been serving as the Community Advocates Coordinator at WildHub, where I coordinate initiatives to engage, support, and empower our community advocates in advancing WH’s mission.
Beyond WildHub, I wear a few different hats. I work as a researcher and lecturer in Sweden, teaching courses on environmental law, political and historical ecology, and disaster management. I also mentor undergraduate and postgraduate students, collaborate with faculty members, and contribute to ongoing research projects.
I’m passionate about giving back through volunteer work. I support a few conservation and animal welfare organisations with research and advocacy to help drive positive change. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking forest trails with my dog or enjoying a good cup of coffee.
I completed my MSc in Environment and Resource Management at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where I focused on the interdisciplinary aspects of environmental challenges and solutions. I have a strong background in history, marketing, and communication, which enables me to approach complex issues from different perspectives and communicate effectively with diverse audiences. My ultimate goal is to use my skills and knowledge to create positive impacts for the planet and its people.
