I'm a lecturer, licensed dietitian with a master's degree in chemistry and biomedicine.

In addition to a Degree of Bachelor of Science in Dietics at Umeå University, I have studied parts of the Teacher's program at the University of Kalmar (now Linnaeus University), focusing mainly on mathematics and Swedish. I have completed all three courses in higher education pedagogy.

I have my background in healthcare, where I worked with several different categories of patients, e.g. diabetes, cancer and gastrointestinal diseases. Also worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a salesperson and product specialist and as nutritionist dietitian in the Elderly Administration in Karlskrona municipality. 

My next goal is to take bigger steps into research!
