CURRENT MISSION

See as much different things as I can in my life

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Sweden until I was 17 and moved to France and learned how to drink red wine and read french classics. The year after my family moved to Nairobi, and the city stole my heart. I did a ton of traveling post high school in Nairobi: trekking through India, Hitch hiking through West Africa, skiing in the Canadian Rockies, and then Roadtrippin through Southern Africa.

I studied university in Sweden, US and London and have since I graduated from my MSc from London School of Economics worked with the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and been posted in Sudan, Geneva and now New York.
In between I also worked for UC Berkeley on a research project in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to gain as many different skills as possible in my life, meet interesting people and just keep the whole thing magical.
