Jag är i grunden Fysioterapeut och tog min kandidatexamen 2001. Jag arbetar som Belastningsergonom på arbets- och miljömedicin vid Norrlands universitetssjukhus, samt bedriver forskning inom ergonomi.

Min tidiga forskning har framför allt fokuserat på exponering för helkroppsvibrationer och koppling till besvär i rörelseapparaten. Därefter har jag varit inblandad i projekt som studerat kopplingen mellan belastning och muskuloskeletala besvär.

Jag disputerade 2008 vid institutionen för samhällsmedicin och rehabilitering vid Umeå Universitet. 2010-2011 gjorde jag en post-doc vid University of Washington i Seattle, USA
