Before I became the leader for Centre for Sámi and Indigenous studies i August 2023, I worked as an associate professor at the bachelor programme of nursing at the faculty of Nursing and Health Sciences for many years. I have a PhD in Nursing Science from Mid Sweden University, focusing on home healthcare services in Saepmie for the South Sámi population. I have also worked many years as a psychiatric nurse in Namsos municipality. In addition, I have education in leadership and human management, pedagogy, rehabilitation and guidance.
