I was born in Oslo in 1978 and grew up as a skateboarder and drummer among the rolling fields of inner Nesodden.

Since 2002 I´ve studied and lived in Australia for 5 years, moved back to Norway and worked as a high school teacher, moved to New Zealand to work as a journalist, and moved back home again. 

Now I am based in Oslo and I have worked as a journalist for forskning.no, scandinavia´s largest science and research news site. Today I am the daily editor for forskning.no.
