Despite my pæredansk name, I have spent most of my life in the US. The 4+4 project I’ll be working on also spans the Atlantic, bringing together different perspectives on nature-culture to ask whether and how more-than-humans could be collaborative partners in a museum community.

In addition to work here in Denmark, I will be conducting experimental research at a new museum in rural Western New York that has the ambitious goal of telling a unified story about the natural and cultural history of the Finger Lakes region.

After obtaining my bachelor's in history, I spent many years working as a public radio journalist throughout the US and Denmark before diving back in to academia to pursue my master's in Sustainable Heritage Management at AU during the covid years.  

Now that we are back on campus, I am looking forward to being physically present at Moesgaard - almost for the first time.
