With a deep fascination for natural sciences I started with a few years of physics studies in Tromsø before gaining an interest in biology. This led me to start over again here in my home town Bodø, were I began studying biology. I am now in contrary to what the profile picture might reveal studying scavengers in the deep fjords outside of Bodø for my masters project, with genetics and bioinformatics as my main tools for discovering their population structure.
