About

I am an investigative journalist at the tech media Ingeniøren, where I focus on in-depth reporting and uncovering critical stories. Alongside this, I manage and coordinate projects through Noir, an organization dedicated to maritime investigations. Currently also leading an investigation into maritime activities in Danish waters while also developing training courses for journalists. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can balance multiple tasks, drive change, and collaborate across teams. Being part of Noir from the start, I’m committed to expanding our our organization. Lets connect and collaborate!
