I have been working as a field inspector for the Norwegian Environment Agency since 2013. Some of my tasks are within the field of non-food consumer product safety with regard to chemical properties (RoHS, REACH, CLP, POPs), European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) and CITES.
I have a masters degree in archaeology and previously worked as an environmental crimes coordinator with the Oslo Police Department.
I am a Sustainable Development Practitioner with a diverse expanse of interests and subsequent expertise, which are founded on a keen understanding and appreciation for the significance attributed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
I am founder and Executive Director of Bantani, previously youth-worker, VET teacher and policy maker with Welsh government/European Commission and an international expert in entrepreneurship education and development. Bantani Education is a non-profit based in Belgium and working globally with a mission to transform learning. At the heart is the commitment is equipping young people and adults with transversal skills and mindset needed to be more entrepreneurial in life and work, leading to more learner engagement, active citizenship, employability and self-employment. Our skills work connects across entrepreneurial, digital, sustainability and finance skills development - integrating these in a coherent way across all sectors from pre-school to adult learning. Bantani achieves our vision by bringing extensive policy and practical experience to actions with partners from public, education, civil society and private sector, to research, test and embed high-quality learning practice and policy.
I am an Environment expert based in Kisumu County in Kenya. I have significant experience in integrating NBS into land use planning and have been actively involved in developing NBS within low urban communities working jointly with ICLEI under the Urban Natural Assets-Rivers for life initiative and UNEP Generation Restoration pilot project for cities.
I have significant interest in developing NBS and biodiversity business cases within the county to attract support not only in capital investment but also on a long-term to ensure sustainability.
