Biography

I am a sociologist (DSocSc, 2016), and an educator and guidance expert (MEd, 2016) by training. I have previously worked as a researcher and teacher in social sciences, education and adult education, and career guidance and counselling.

My work at the Department of Teacher Education consists of training educational and career guidance practitioners and experts, being involved in developing training, and conducting and supervising research in the field.

My teaching is focused on career research and theories, educational and career guidance and counselling theories and approaches, societal aspects of guidance, and on research skills and supervision of master’s students. I also have a co-supervisor role in a few doctoral projects.
