Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
I am from Oslo and did my master's in marine biology here at UiO. I have mainly been working at UiO, but have also worked for a short time in Alfred Wegeners Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany and at The Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) here in Oslo.
What were you doing before joining NCMM?
I have worked for more than 20 years as an engineer at the Biochemistry section at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, UiO, working for different research groups. In addition, I have been working part time at the Procurement Office, UiO, helping with framework agreements on laboratory equipment and chemicals.
What will you be responsible for in your role at NCMM?
I will be responsible for all health and safety-related issues. I will also be responsible for chemical safety, risk assessments, and for supporting the leadership with health and safety matters.
I will assist the leadership in assessing the consequences related to HSE of major changes, such as the introduction of new methods, the purchase of major items of scientific equipment, reconstruction or reorganization.
What are you most looking forward to in your new role?
I have never had this kind of position before, and I am looking forward to new challenges and colleagues, and to be able to focus more on health and safety in the lab than I was able to in my old position.
What do you like doing in your free time?
I like outdoors activities, like hiking, biking and swimming, trying to use weekends on trips to cottages or tenting in the forest.
