I am currently working as a doctoral student in Landscape Governance and Management within the project ‘Governance Systems for Human Health & Wellbeing promoting Greenspace’ as a part of the project ‘NordGREEN – Smart Planning for Healthy and Green Nordic Cities’.
My work focuses on governance aspects in local governments - how Nordic municipalities work with both policies and strategic documents together with internal and external actors to integrate health and well-being issues in green space planning and management.
I have working experience as a landscape architect in local government technical departments, with a wide range of responsibilities from planning involvement to development projects and green space construction management. I have also worked as a project- and course assistant in various projects and courses in the landscape related educations at SLU.
My main interests include promoting sustainable management of public green space by integrating operational perspectives as a key for development in the process of planning, designing and managing existing and future green spaces.
