Hi there! I’m an Oslo-based editor, journalist and photographer with over a decade of experience in science communication, environmental reporting and travel writing. I hold a master’s degree (MSc) in Environment & Development from the University of Edinburgh. As a volunteer, I’m an ambassador to the German organisation Hostwriter.org and a founding member of the Brazilian Network of Science Journalists. On a side note, I'm also pretty good at project management, being an Asana Certified Pro.Currently, I'm teaching myself HTML, CSS and JavaScript – but my goal for the coming months is to learn a bit of gardening as well. Oh, did I already mention that I'm also trying to learn Norwegian? Aikido, chess, erva-mate, good literature and good music are my main hobbies. Yes, I play the tin whistle and some other weird musical instruments. Get in touch and let's have a coffee!
