I have 30 years of experience in project work, particularly within tourism development and the education sector. Over these years, I have worked on various projects related to destination development, cultural communication, adventure tourism, and marketing, both nationally and internationally. During my career, I have been fortunate to work on several exciting projects, such as the development of new products and concepts within experience tourism in the Fjord Norway region at the Norwegian Centre of Expertise-Tourism Fjord Norway (NCE) and the "storm watching" project in the Fjord Coast region.
Since starting as a consultant in 1994, I have undertaken assignments for municipalities, destination companies, cultural institutions, and small tourism operators within accommodation and tour operations. I love libraries, so developing a plan, handbook, and event book for the local libraries “Biblioteka i Vest” was a dream project.
I have a very diverse background in tourism, with experience as a travelconsultant in the corporate market in travel agencies, event planner, tour operator, tour guide, and international ski instructor. My academic background is from Oppland District College, BI, and UIT in Alta.
As an educator with additional training in guidance and mentor pedagogy, I thrive working at the intersection of industry and education to continuously deliver "fresh" knowledge. I have over 30 years of experience teaching and lecturing at various colleges, vocational schools, and high schools, specializing in marketing, media, and tourism subjects. I have also had the opportunity to work on pedagogical development projects, including new educational programs, entrepreneurship, marketing, and methodological subjects. Through guiding students, pupils, and various organizations, I support and facilitate development, learning, and reflection.
I am a curious, social, and knowledge-hungry person who constantly strives to develop through new knowledge and competencies by attending studies, courses, and participating in various forums.
