Background and academic interests
I have a bachelor’s degree in Global Development from the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway. During my studies, I conducted fieldwork research at the University of Ruhuna in Sri Lanka (2025), as a part of my bachelor’s thesis on topics related to the ethics of humanitarian photography and the use of child imagery by Sri Lankan NGOs.
I also have extensive experience in administrative work and research support, gained from previous positions such as being a teaching assistant at the Institute of Global Development and Urban Planning at the University of Agder and as a student assistant at the same university's International Admission Office.
My academic interests include global development, humanitarian aid, refugee law, sustainability, and the promotion of women’s and children’s rights.
