ABOUT ME
Hi there! I’m an Oslo-based editor, journalist and photographer with over a decade of experience in science communication and environmental reporting. I’m also an ambassador to the German organisation Hostwriter.org (working to spread the word about cross-border journalism methodologies) and a founding member of the Brazilian Network of Science Journalists (trying to improve the quality of science communication in Brazil and Latin America).
