I have a background in peace and conflict studies with 15+ years of experience working with and advicing civilian, government, military and international environments. I have a specific focus on providing expertise and strategic advice on humanitarian and protection related issues for peace operations across civilian and military branches. I have robust experience with facilitating thematic processes and debates on cross-cutting issues in multinational environments and have partnership experience with i.a. NATO (HQ, Commands, COEs), United Nations (Peacekeeping branches), United Nations Development Program, UNESCO, Danish Ministry of Defense, Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Danish Ministry of Culture, other governments, research organizations and civil society organizations around the world.
