About

Hi. I just returned to Copenhagen from Beijing after completing a Master’s degree in Global Affairs as a Schwarzman Scholar at Tsinghua University. I aspire to bring people from different cultures closer together: This is a wide job description, and could include journalism, tourism, education, diplomacy or performing arts. My most important skills are charisma and energy, which support everything I do. Specifically, - Living and studying in five countries has taught me languages and cultural understanding - Business journalism has taught me courage and critical sense - Theatre has taught me teamwork and creativity - Management consulting has taught me patience and accuracy (and Excel!) - Teaching on three continents has taught me the most important skill of all: How to encourage others!
