I coordinate the activities of the Arctic Graduate School and other Arctic education activities. My academic backgrounds are Cognitive Science, Computer Science and Psychology.
As an Education Coordinator for the Arctic Graduate School with a focus on Sustainable Development and a Project Coordinator for Future Forests at Umeå University, I bridge the gap between academic research and practical applications in Arctic and forestry management. My interdisciplinary background aligns perfectly with the cross-disciplinary nature of both the program and platform. Additionally, I serve on the board of APECS Sweden, a national branch of APECS for early career polar researchers.
In my dual role, I orchestrate a variety of activities that connect academic research with real-world applications. For the Arctic Graduate School, I organize educational activities including workshops, courses, seminars, and field trips. Within Future Forests, I assist with event planning and stakeholder communication. These efforts are crucial in fostering collaboration and addressing current environmental challenges.
My work facilitates knowledge exchange and engagement between researchers, students, and societal actors. By enabling dialogue between academia and various stakeholders, I help translate complex research into accessible educational programs and practical initiatives. This knowledge transfer from research to practice supports sustainable methods in both Arctic and forest management.
I maintain a flexible approach in both roles, adapting to changing needs. Open communication with program and platform managers, researchers, and stakeholders ensures our activities align with shared goals and priorities. Whether solving logistical issues for an educational workshop or supporting communication needs for an event, I strive to enhance the effectiveness of our initiatives and their impact on participants.
By continuing to develop effective educational programs and practical projects, I aim to contribute to shaping future leaders in both Arctic research and sustainable forest management. My interdisciplinary background provides a unique vantage point to promote a holistic view of these areas.
Looking ahead, I'm particularly interested in exploring the social dimensions of sustainability within these fields. I believe integrating social sustainability into our approach will be crucial for developing comprehensive solutions. My background in psychology and cognitive science offers valuable insights into human behavior and decision-making processes, essential for addressing social sustainability issues. Through this work, I hope to foster a more comprehensive understanding of sustainability that balances environmental, economic, and social factors.
