What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue developing practical, user-friendly waste and circular economy solutions, combining environmental analysis, regulation, municipal planning, and stakeholder collaboration.

At Follo Ren IKS, I develop waste-management and circular economy solutions across owner municipalities, from environmental reporting and waste statistics to planning, zoning, and construction cases. I've completed more than 100 site inspections, created practical solutions with residents, and led development of a technical waste guideline for residential projects.

I also deliver training for employees, schools, students, and residents, including annual lectures at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. With a master’s in International Environmental Studies and a background in Development Studies and economics, I bring environmental, regulatory, and user-focused perspectives to new collection services, waste regulations, and resource-efficient systems.
