ABOUT ME

Organizational Consultant specializing in

Change Management, Culture, Leadership, and Team Collaboration

With a Master’s degree in Organizational Psychology from Roskilde University (RUC) and a cand.mag in Portuguese with economics, equivalent to HD 1. del, from the University of Copenhagen (KU), I combine a robust academic background with 20 years of practical experience.


My approach is always humble—I do not claim to have all the answers. However, I am skilled and trained in facilitating a space where the underlying dynamics between people come to the surface and become data. From there, we can work together to create a new reality in the workplace where people can thrive.


I speak fluent Danish, English, French, and Portuguese.
