About

As a chemical engineer with a deep-rooted passion for process technology and hydrogen applications, I thrive on tackling complex challenges that drive innovation in our industry. My journey began at the University of South-Eastern Norway where I earned my Master’s degree in Process Technology. This education not only shaped my technical skills but also ignited my enthusiasm for sustainable solutions like carbon capture and nitrogen removal. In my current role at Frogn Municipality, I’ve had the privilege of leading a team of over five colleagues focused on operational safety and process optimization. Each day presents new opportunities to enhance our processes while ensuring we meet compliance standards. For instance, through collaborative efforts and strategic planning, we improved our operational efficiency by 30%, which significantly boosted patient care quality for over 50 individuals daily. Prior to this role, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Sunnaas sykehus HF where I honed my skills in patient care and emergency response. This experience taught me the importance of empathy and teamwork—qualities that are just as vital in engineering as they are in healthcare. Additionally, during my time as a University Teaching Laboratory Engineer at Universitetet i Oslo, I created engaging learning environments while managing laboratory risks effectively. Outside of work, I enjoy staying updated on the latest advancements in chemical engineering and sustainability practices. Whether it's reading industry publications or attending workshops, I'm always eager to learn more about how we can push boundaries in our field.
