Spain
Since childhood, I have always been a bio-nerd at heart. However, life had other plans, and I found myself launching a clothing company at just 16. This endeavor, though exciting, wasn't enough, leading me to explore various startups. My ventures ranged from managing festival stages at Distortion, the world's biggest street festival, to operating a consultancy agency within the construction industry. During this time, I also gained 4 years of experience in sales. After absorbing everything I could from my startup experiences and endless hours of cold-calling, I decided to pursue projects with a more significant impact on the world and returned to academia. Upon completing my bachelor's in Business Administration, I discovered the opportunity to study interdisciplinary master's programs that combined my passion for biology with my commercial skills. It was then that I was introduced to the work of David Sinclair, which revealed the potential of curing aging. This discovery resonated with my inner bio-nerd, compelling me to dedicate my life to turning this science into reality. Thus, I embarked on a new adventure, transitioning from business to biotech. This shift was easier said than done, as we in Denmark don't allow individuals to pay their way through education. In pursuit of this new career path, I therefore had to look abroad. I ended up relocating to Spain, where I have spent the past few years studying the intricacies of biology and the cutting-edge technologies in the field through a Master's program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Biomedical Engineering. If you've made it this far, I apologize for the lengthy introduction, but given my unconventional career path, I felt the need to provide some context. If you, like me, are a futurist with creative ideas about shaping the future, please reach out! Let's explore how we can make a difference together
