Background

After I recieved my degree in Social work at Dalarna University, I further studied for a master's degree in Social Work at the same university. After an internship at the Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Assessment of Social Services my interest in evidence-based practice and research was ignited in the same area that Högskolan Dalarna's postgraduate program has as its profile: Health and welfare with a focus on evidence-based practice. Since October 2021, I have been accepted as a doctoral student in the subject Care Science, where my doctoral thesis is about risk factors and interventions to reduce loneliness in older adults.

Teaching

My teaching at Dalarna University is currently mainly focused on scientific method, where most emphasis is on teaching quantitative methods in the Social worker program.
