I am a dedicated biologist with a master’s degree in biodiversity and systematics from NTNU and a strong foundation in environmental studies. My passion lies in creating impactful solutions for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, which I explored extensively in my master’s thesis, where I conducted a gap analysis on Marine Protected Areas in coastal Norway. I bring a versatile skill set, including expertise in ecological research, data analysis, and project coordination, complemented by experience in volunteering and writing. As a contributor to Passion for Ocean, I engage audiences by sharing insights on ocean-related careers and sustainability, combining my scientific background with a flair for communication.
