I am deeply passionate about the causes I believe in, especially when it comes to communicating about Ukraine, European politics, and the dynamic between social movements, authorities and private sector within the rule of law. Having access to nuanced, fact-based information is unfortunately a luxury in today's world, and I want to contribute with my expertise to a broader debate about international relations - on all levels.
I see insights and knowledge as shared resources that gain value through exchange.
Having lived and worked in Ukraine for many years before and during the full-scale invasion, I have first-hand experience and deep knowledge about the history and dynamics of this country. Also about the role of culture and identity in politics and security, as well as the importance of a critical civil society when facing armed conflict.
I am eager to engage in work and projects on topics such as:
Ukraine: Modern History & Post-Soviet Transformations, life during the war
International relations
Culture as a Driving Force in Global Politics
Democracy and Social Change
Youth Engagement and Grassroots Movements
International Development & Civil Society
Media and the power of Narratives
Cross-cultural Leadership
SERVICES & CONSULTANCY
Since 2022, I’ve taken part in over 50 talks, panels,. presentations and media appearances in English, Danish, and Norwegian. I enjoy creating a dialogue with the audience and making complex topics easier to understand.
Whether giving a keynote, joining a panel, or moderating a discussion, I aim to share useful insights, encourage reflection, and foster open conversations.
I provide guidance in international development, strategy, organizational development, project management, and communication—helping organizations adapt and grow with clarity and people in mind.
From refining messages and developing strategies to strengthening grant applications, I offer practical, tailored support that fits your goals.
I write op-eds, columns, longer articles and provide editorial input, and research contributions. Whether it’s a paper, article, or analysis, I enjoy turning complex ideas into accessible content.
I also design and facilitate workshops that are interactive and practical—helping teams strengthen skills and gain useful tools for their work.
