Connecting people, policy, and purpose for a healthier planet

As Strategic Lead for External Relations and Policy, and a staff-elected member of the Board, I work to build relationships that amplify GRID-Arendal’s impact. My role bridges internal strategy and external influence, helping to align our mission with the global policy landscape and our diverse networks of partners.

What I Bring

I bring years of experience navigating environmental policy frameworks, strategic communications, and collaborative partnerships. With a background in diplomacy and advocacy, I understand the complexities of connecting science, governance, and community priorities. I see every relationship as an opportunity to create space for shared learning and systemic change.

My Focus Areas

  • Leadership in Governance & Policy Shaping
  • Collaborative Facilitation & Transformative Engagement

In My Own Words

″Policy is not just about documents or decisions, it’s about relationships and responsibilities. I believe in building trust across sectors and borders to make environmental action real, fair, and lasting.″
