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. I’m an ambassador to the German organisation Hostwriter.org and a founding member of the Brazilian Network of Science Journalists. Apart from my work in communication, I also have some experience in the field of project management, as an Asana Certified Pro. I'm passionate about aikido, vegetarian cuisine and, of course, my beloved erva-mate!
