Laboratoriechef @ Karolinska University Hospital

About

Engaged, careful and positive are three words that others often describe me with. I see myself as a flexible person and find me easy in different types of groups and I deliver what I promise. My words in life are courage and passion. Courage to dare to try new roads that extend beyond borders. Passion, the inner glow, which is vital for my pride to burn for what I do. I am good at and like to coordinate and realise projects. So far, I have done it within the academy (research and education), in the hospital setting (an altruistic Umbilical Cord Blood Bank), and within the pharmaceutical area where I'm the founder and co-owner of one company, and work nationally and internationally in another company.
