Jag är utbildad beteendevetare och har en konstnärlig bakgrund inom dans och koreografi. Jag har en med.kand i psykologi och en film.mag i genusvetenskap med inriktning på förändringsarbete. Min konstnärliga bakgrund kommer från det nutida dansfältet.
Tillsammans med Anna Näsström bildar jag konstnärsduon Ongoing realities och vi har drivit ett utforskande koreografiskt projekt centrerat kring rörelse och digtiala tekniker såsom Virtual Reality. Projektet beviljades statligt ekonomiskt stöd av Konstnärsnämnden och Riksteatern Väst.
Jag har även varit verksam som pedagog, haft frilansuppdrag inom förlagsbranschen samt som föreläsare. Hösten 2020 föreläste jag bland annat om jämställdhetens historia och förändringsstrategier på Nobelmuseet i Stockholm.
