Characterizing for me
I grew up playing soccer from five years of age and I was team captain during my teenage years. Soccer was my life and what I learned by being part of a team, and functioning as a team captain, are still strong guidelines for me. I really believe in teamwork as a foundation, where the basis for decisions is many perspectives and feedback from teammates. I always look at what we can learn from what we are doing, to make the next step even better.

I´m value based and believe in living my life always with my values in tact. I have a strong holistic and analytic side, where I strive to always see the big picture, different perspectives and then make my analyzes as widely as possible. Because of my goal-oriented personality and my solution focus I steer to find new solutions together with my team and then put them in motion in an effective, but yet structured way. Just like soccer players analyze their matches, evaluate and put a new strategy in motion.

I believe that school, as it works today, doesn´t work and to always find better ways to include and make school a good place for students – and the world a better place for everyone – is my driving force. I believe in a scientific foundation and are interested in examine what proven experience means for the school's way of working. I´m also always interested in developing how we co-create in organisations and finding effective, participating and active process management for a valid systematic quality assurance.
