About me
I have a broad and varied professional background, with a degree in history and more than 30 years of experience from public administration, museums, and media. This has given me solid cultural expertise and a wide professional network.
Technical-industrial heritage is one of my key areas of specialization. I serve as Membership Director of TICCIH (The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage), as a member of its Executive Committee, and as the national representative for Norway.
I am based in Grimstad, Agder, but I am highly mobile and take on assignments across Norway. References available upon request.
