About
A Dane with a bright, efficient and creative mindset. My core skills are idea- and conceptual development, copywriting and localization. I am used to work with a broad variety of cultures and nationalities, and love the challenges and perspectives it gives. My great linguistic, and cultural understanding, combined with my European roots gives me a unique profile, with a diverse view on communication.
I love traveling, beating people in board games, and playing olympic handball with my teammates.
